[clamav-users] [Clamav-devel] ClamAV(R) blog: ClamAV 0.102.0 Release Candidate is now available

[Micah Snyder (micasnyd)]

Perhaps there is something we can do to make it easier to statically link libcurl, specifically, with freshclam, clamsubmit, and clamonacc.

Regards,
Micah

    I'd like to disagree here: it is a new implementation for an existing feature (on-access scanning).
    There was already a remark in a redhat bugzilla request to disable on-access for the epel-build for 0.102 (on which I commented, since that would impact a lot of users).
    I won't go into the discussion of supporting "old" libraries on "old OS's" again, but for enterprise users (RHEL 6/7, Centos, Ubuntu LTS, ...) this is a bit of a problem (since the libcurl lib is also provided by the OS vendor itself).
