Assuming what you mean is something like "http://some.site.net/some/path/clamav-current.tar.gz", as you said in the previous post, there's : - http://www.clamav.net/snapshot/clamav-devel-latest.tar.gz, for the development version - The DNS record current.cvd.clamav.net, for stable version.
What I did for stable version is use something like this : VERSION=`host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net | gawk -F \" '{print $2}' | gawk -F \: '{print $1}'` wget http://optusnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/clamav/clamav-$VERSION.tar.gz Choose your favorite SF mirror, of course. There are some configuration file (clamd.conf, mostly) syntax change in 0.88 -> 0.90, so the above example might not be useful for such transition. It would be useful for 0.88.7 -> 0.88.8 (should it ever come out) and 0.90 -> 0.90.1 (in the future) Regards, Fajar _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
