[clamav-users] Where can I download daily.cvd, bytecode.cvd and main.cvd from?

[Nick Howitt]

Isn't that a bit messy? It would be so much easier to be able to use 
curl, wget or any browser to get the sigs so we can package them 
directly - not have to install some uncommon download package and then 
download them. That is making people jump through unnecessary hoops. I 
am not trying use a segmented network and hosts can generally reach the 
internet. I just want to be able to package the sigs in a v0.103.5 rpm 
for my distro in the same way as EPEL does.

We want to be able to distribute a package which, in emergency, can be transferred to a standalone (read compromised device removed from the network) and have the rpm install something which can directly virus scan. Without the three files, it can't. I presume that is similar logic to EPEL.
