Hi there,

I don't think this needs to go to clamav-devel.

You don't have to.  You can build it all in your home directory, then
build a package, and then install from your package.  Once you have a
system set up to do that it's just a matter of plugging in new sources
as and when they're released and then turning the handle.  You can use
your package to install on unlimited numbers of machines and it's much
better than relying on the whims of some distro's packaging anyway as
you have full control of the build process.

But it could seem a little strange that your manager might insist that
you use out of date utilities for your security systems... :)
