[clamav-users] ClamAV® blog: ClamAV will release a new main.cvd and daily.cvd this weekend.

[Joel Esler (jesler)]

No, this will be a completely new main.  Since we are redoing the backend of how those are generated, a completely new main.cvd will have to be made.

Will the update to main.cvd be distributed as .cdiff files or will every user have to download the main.cvd file in its entirety?

My Main.cvd (compressed) is only 64.7M so I would have to guess that the majority of the current Daily will be added to Main which making it ~100M compressed.

The estimated size of these files are 100 MB and 10 MB respectively.

Daily 115M
Main 156M
Bytecode 402K

All in uncompressed size, so the estinated is compressed ?
