It would be great if you could put the source debian/ directory and the 
clamav.spec file (for rpm
builds) up with the source tarball.

Tradition would say make the debian dir available as eg:
         clamav-1.0.0-rc-1.debian.tar.gz

If you put clamav.spec at the top level (I think that means 
clamav-1.0.0-rc/clamav.spec
) then we can build the rpm straight from the tarball, with
         rpmbuild --ta clamav-1.0.0-rc.tar.gz
This worked for RedHat 6, I don't have a current RedHat system to confirm.

I know that you have mussels, but switching to CMake and adding Rust
seems like enough for an OS packager trying to upgrade from one LTS to the 
next (0.103 to 1.0).

Thanks,
