This exactly is the point! Versions before 0.92 are vulnerable, that should be fixed, as soon as possible. > Your whining is not helping anyone; bear in mind that the number of > devs/TUs is limited and they have to manage a huge number of packages. > If you want to help someway, you could update the package, test it and > send the sources (PKGBUILD and other stuff) to the maintainer or maybe > even in this mailing list. I did not whine! I build it myself clamav by just replacing the $pkgver on my private x86_64 box. I just wanted to call some attention. But Arch Linux is known to be very up to date on nearly all packages. Why not on that security realted issue ? When clamav 0.94 is released, where should I upload the new PKGBUILD including the binaries for x86_64 and i686 ? Sorry for my english, it isn't the best :) -- regards, TR
