Bug#1037250: ITP: fangfrisch -- Update and verify unofficial Clam Anti-Virus signatures
* Paul Wise: > I wonder if there is any tool that generates and/or contains the > appropriate ClamAV configs for popular unofficial signatures, > rather than manually downloading those signatures themselves. What do you mean by "manually downloading"? Fangfrisch is meant to be invoked by a scheduler like cron, verifies the integrity of downloads, avoids unnecessary downloads altogether, renames signature files if so desired by the user -- all without user interaction. Also, downloads (i.e. URL-based access) are handled using the Requests library [1], possibly the most popular Python library available for this purpose? > Perhaps Fangfrisch should become such a tool? I am unsure what exactly you are suggesting. Do you propose I remove existing functionality, proven robust? Functionality which freshclam does not offer as of June 2023? -Ralph [1] https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

* Paul Wise: > I was under the impression that ClamAV itself now has options > to download unofficial signatures, is that the case or was that > removed? Not to toot my own horn, but Fangfrisch is more flexible than freshclam, both in terms of retrieving signature files and configuration. It also supports several signature providers out of the box [1], and Gentoo Linux recommends using it as well [2]. I have been using Fangfrisch for both myself and for my customers' production servers for years without a hitch, and I'd be happy to answer any additional questions you might have. -Ralph [1] https://rseichter.github.io/fangfrisch/#_default_providers [2] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ClamAV_Unofficial_Signatures
Bug#963872: RFP: automx2 - Email client configuration made easy (replaces "automx")
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist automx2 makes configuring a mail account easy. It unites methods for automated mailbox configuration from Apple mobileconfig, Microsoft autodiscover and Mozilla autoconfig in one tool. automx2 is successor to automx. It has been designed to be easier to setup, easier to configure and easier to use. automx2 comes with Python 3 support and replaces automx, which runs only with Python 2.
