Hi,
I'm maintaining the fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net) package of clamav for Mac OS X. The recent release of the GUI clamXav by Mark Allen (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.virus.clamav.devel/1194) triggered 2 fixes/extensions which are applied to the fink package since clamav version 0.75. I think it would be worthwhile to include them in the official source tree.
(1) Files on Mac OS X may have a so called resource forks where meta data to the file is stored. They generic way how clamscan copies infected files does not preserve the resource fork, i.e. destroys files which rely on the meta data. I resorted to a system call to 'ditto', an utility provided by Apple to copy files preserving the resource fork.
(2) In order to provide some progress information in clamXav while the scan is in progress, Mark asked to have a print-out of the scanned file. I added such a print statement which is printed if clamscan is called with the verbose option.
Please find a patch with these 2 changes attached to the mail.
Cheers,
Remi
