Test builds are up in asl-2.0-testing and atomic-testing now. Please let me know if they work ok (or dont!) here

[biggles]

Seems to be working on my test server...

I got an error from project gamera upon installation, but otherwise installation went fine:

Code: Select all

Complete!

Upon starting clamd I got this warning, but otherwise clamd seems to work fine:

Code: Select all

WARNING: Running on 32-bit system, and RLIMIT_DATA > 2GB, lowering to 2GB!

How do I update to the new clamAV?

[scott]

yum --enablrepo=atomic-testing upgrade <packagename>

I'm definitely interested in what kind of impact the RLIMIT stuff has.

[laughingbuddha]

I guess the package is clamav?

Sure hope I don't break this

I'm definitely interested in what kind of impact the RLIMIT stuff has.

Here's a thread on this RLIMIT_DATA message in ClamAV 0.96.3: http://www.mail-archive.com/clamav-user ... 35518.html

Apparently it's a workaround for certain BSD versions. There'll be a BSD check in 0.96.4 so this message won't be printed when not relevant (like on Linux). As far as I understand this warning can be safely ignored.

I guess the package is clamav?

That's one package, but you'll also need clamav-db and probably have clamd (the daemon) installed as well. rpm -qa | grep clam will show you what you have installed. Yum also understands wildcards, so you could just update clam*.

Sure hope I don't break this

I hope you're not installing testing packages on a server that's not meant for eh... well, testing.

[laughingbuddha]

Well I kinda just have the one server at the moment, since I ditched 2 VPSes about a year ago.

Most of what I host are low traffic sites, apart from 2, 1 belongs to a radio station and the other is a project I'm developing.

Fingers crossed

[breun]

Do you have any specific need for 0.96.3 right now? Otherwise I'd just wait for a release into the stable channel (or go and setup a machine for testing again).

But it's your server, so do what you like.

[laughingbuddha]

I'm running the latest install of ASL (even though I got an email today/yesterday about the new version).

My current clam is 0.96.2-1 which is from the art channel, so I think I'll waiting to it comes through on yum rather than updating.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[breun]

Scott, is anything in particular blocking the release of your ClamAV 0.96.3 to the stable channel?
