 |
|
Is there any way to get portage to track clamav's virus signature database? It would be nice if there was an ebuild for it.
I just found 'freshclam' so it's not a big deal, I thought it might be convenient. |

Probably not helpful, but I just setup a small cron job to to update it daily, using the following script: (using Vixie Cron)
| Code: | #/bin/bash
# /etc/cron.daily/freshclam - Updates ClamAV signatures every day.
freshclam |
Then just make it executable: | Code: | | chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/freshclam |
(You may need to add yourself to the 'cron' group to be able to use cron tasks. Check the `gpasswd` man page for more information.)

thanks, but this is my laptop ... I can only update once in a while, when I find a hotspot.
I've just added freshclam to my "update" alias, it's a good enough solution for now.
alias update='emerge --sync && emerge -a -f -u world -D && freshclam && emerge -a -u world -D'
Anyone have any tips to improve this? |
