Not quite. I have taken over the packaging of this and the
justification of packaging the sigs is partly that the tool will work
and scan out of the box, partly for the offline consideration and
partly because there will be a delay after installation where ClamAV
is installed but not in a running condition. IIRC it won't even start
without a database. This means that a yum install will need to pause
and run freshclam before it can attempt to start clamd.
This has knock-on issues and, apparently, it is always best for yum
todownload what it needs with yum and not some third party tool.
Last time I looked at the .spec file the signatures were marked
%config(noreplace)
Does that avoid the yum issues ?
I can see the sense in running
freshclam --datadir=...
(or cvdupdate) in the
%prep or %build section of clamav.spec
rather than in the %post.
Or even have two sub-packages clamav-db-large and clamav-db-small
both providing clamav-db ? -large has the files and -small has the %post
script.
I give up. This is like pushing water up hill. There is no sensible way
of building the packages in one pass which allows me to package the sigs
automatically. It looks like Cisco will block you if you try to down
load anything and fighting Cisco or trying to get them to change is a
total waste of effort.
