Hi, What happened to dag.wieers? There is an update for clamav but the rpm is still not distibuted after 4 weeks or more. :-) What's wrong there?

Due to the length of time that these problems have existed there's also a fair amount of skepticism that the issues will be resolved. There are several suggestions on how to resolve the clamav issue, one of them was to use the version from epel which is what I opted to do. Depending on your point of view I found it to be a relatively easy switch, just had to deal with a few ownership issues. All in all it's a shame that there are issues as I've used rpmforge for years and have been pleased with the repo. Pete -- Unencumbered by the thought process. -- Click and Clack the Tappet brothers

We switched to epel for clamav because of that one issue. Otherwise we have been very pleased with rpmforge. It will prove a great loss if there is a serious possibility that this resource might fade away. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
