Clamav 0.95 volatile with safebrowsing?

[Eric Wong-10]

Hi Debian people,

 

May I ask if clamav 0.95 (volatile) will include Google safebrowsing? As "debian-volatile will only contain changes to stable programs that are necessary to keep them functional", I wonder if the safebrowsing will be removed altogether... We do businesses with China and there are so many zero-day viruses in China websites, safebrowsing will save me many, many hours to remove those http viruses.

 

And approximately when will the package appear in volatile?

 

Thank you for your response in advance.

 

Thanks,

Eric

The feature will certainly not be disabled in source, although it may
come disabled as a default for the configuration option in the debian
packages - this will need some discussion.  For the unstable packages,
we'll just be using the upstream default.

We're giving it a few days in unstable for now - the milter rework in
this version is causing us a few packaging headaches.  Once we make sure
we're not going to unnecessarily break anything for people, we'll upload
to volatile.

Cheers,

I strongly recommend that it's disabled by default. Before enabling this
option, users should review the guidelines at
http://safebrowsing.clamav.net

Yes, I agree to disable it by default as per recommended by the in Clamav
website.

Great. Thanks Debian people for all the hard work.
