Hi all,
I could use your opinion about a change we'd planned to make in 0.104.
By request, I'd made this pull request to change the default directory
for the config files from <prefix>/etc to <prefix>/etc/clamav. The
purpose being to de-clutter /usr/local/etc:
https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav/pull/182
<https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav/pull/182>
I procrastinated merging it for a long time because while it feels
like a good change it will require a change to our test framework and
would likely break scripts for other users as well. Some justification
for the change at this time is that with the build system change to
cmake, users will likely have to change the same scripts anyhow so we
don't have any better time.
Unfortunately, I procrastinated it so hard I forgot to merge it before
the first release candidate. Now, I can't decide if it's right to
merge it before the second release candidate or throw it away. I would
like your opinion.
Regards,
Micah
In the past I already used /etc/clamav for the configuration file, just
for the same reason: avoiding cluttering.
Now, since <prefix>/etc has become the norm, it's only logical - for the
same reason - to use the proposed form of <prefix>/etc/clamav as the
default. I already use it this way.
Regards, Frans.
