The following reply was made to PR ports/165377; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Gerard Seibert <gerard@seibercom.net> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, gerard@seibercom.net Cc: Subject: Re: ports/165377: [maintainer update] security/scamp: scamp-5.3a > 5.3b Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:14:15 -0500 1) The latest version of clamav has improved capabilities for third party signatures, besides fixing some bugs, enhancements, etcetera. There really is no reason to use an older version. In fact, I believe versions < 0.96.4 (I forget which exactly) do not handle certain third party formats correctly. Since a user could be downloading this script for the first time with a potentially older version of clamav, I thought it best to insure that they have the latest one available. Since only a few packages are involved, and they are quite small actually, it just seemed logical (to me anyway) to have the latest version of the required applications available. Actually, "Bash" has to be >=3.x also. The script is going to be using "named" arrays in a future release, so version >=4 will be required then anyway. 2) You are correct, there is an extraneous "diff" file present. Two of us were working on this at the same time; therefore, doubling the chances of a mistake. I can either fix the port on my side and submit a new "diff" or they can correct it there. I'll wait until someone contacts me. Thanks! -- Gerard ✌ gerard@seibercom.net
