Bug#525358: Better testcase, --exclude-dir only works with a REGEX.
Thanks for the advice. Just changing the option name, but using the old pattern syntax, didn't work in all cases, though. I created a better testcase: # mkdir -p /tmp/clamtest/test1 /tmp/clamtest/kde-htest # mkdir -p /clamtest/test1 # touch /tmp/clamtest/test1/clamtest.test1.sample.file # cp /tmp/kde-htest/konqueror-crash-Gpj9Ca.log /tmp/clamtest/kde-htest/ # touch /clamtest/test1/clamtest.test1.sample.file # touch /clamtest/test1/junk # clamscan -r --exclude-dir=//clamtest/ /tmp /clamtest /tmp/clamtest/tmp.clamtest.sample.file: Empty file /tmp/clamtest/kde-htest/konqueror-crash-Gpj9Ca.log: OK /tmp/clamtest/tmp/temp.clamtest.tmp.sample.file: OK /tmp/.X0-lock: OK /clamtest/test1/clamtest.test1.sample.file: Empty file /clamtest/test1/junk: Empty file So just changing from --exclude to --exclude-dir, using the original syntax for PATT of // to indicate a root directory doesn't work. Later Internet search on --exclude-dir turned up http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/56093-clam-av.html which shows the Fedora version of clamscan --help saying that the syntax is --exclude-dir=REGEX I tested this and found that it works: # clamscan -r --exclude-dir=^/clamtest/ /tmp /clamtest /tmp/clamtest/tmp.clamtest.sample.file: Empty file /tmp/clamtest/kde-htest/konqueror-crash-Gpj9Ca.log: OK /tmp/clamtest/tmp/temp.clamtest.tmp.sample.file: OK /tmp/.X0-lock: OK /clamtest: Excluded So sometime between clamav 0.92.1 and 0.94.dfsg.2-1lenny2, the syntax for --exclude-dir=PATT (and related options) changed to require PATT to be a regular expression. Is there any chance of getting the man page and --help output changed to say REGEX instead of PATT? I'll let upstream know about this. In fact, the --help output depends on some nowadays unused preprocessor option and thus does not reflect the actual behavior. It's using regular expressions in all cases now.
