It's only a requirement for a new feature... I suppose the alternative is for distros to do their usual back-porting of exploits only and freeze the release number? That's the *usual* route for distro packages instead of constantly updating and getting the latest & greatest new release and newest features... *rolleyes* It *is* an open-source project (i.e. FREE)... If you don't like how they are doing something you *can* take the code and do whatever you please with it to suit your needs... _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
