Bugzilla Bug 3408

Hi,  
  
This is an ebuild script for Frisk Software's f-prot virusscanner, which is   
free for personal use. I plan to make an ebuild for qmail-scanner (a   
mailscanner which plugs into qmail) which obviously depends on a virus  
scanner. Since mcafee's scanner is currently not working in the portage tree  
and is no longer supported by mcafee, this might be a better choice. One  
thing: i've made it to install to /usr/local/f-prot because the virus def  
files must be in the same directory as the executable and I don't think  
/usr/bin should contain data files. Also, this location is where several  
programs and scripts expect f-prot to be. Suggested place in the portage tree 
is net-mail, since that's where mcafee lives. For periodic updates there's a 
check-updates.sh script installed that does the job and can be run as a cron 
job. 
  
Thanks,  
Ronald.

f-prot-3.12a.ebuild (New Package)

I've posted the qmail-scanner ebuild as bug #3552 
 

if the URL in SRC_URI is still down (it was when i tried to get the tar.gz),
then use this:
SRC_URI="ftp://ftp1.mirrors.f-prot.com/pub/${A}"

maybe this URL should be added to the ebuild so it automatically tries this URL
too ?

It would be a good idea to have an empty src_compile() { echo Nothing to
compile }.

Also, installing into /usr/local breaks our established rules.  I assume
that F-Prot is a binary program, so it should really be installed
into /opt, if at all possible.

Updated f-prot ebuild script to use /opt

I updated the ebuild to install into /opt (since f-prot is indeed a binary
program) and i've added an empty src_compile (). The qmail-scanner ebuild that
needs this also needs to be updated, i'll post the new one in a few minutes.

Done.
