[clamav-users] freshclam-sleep doesn't exist in epel8 packages

[khodor barakat]

Hi,

redhat doesn't support this package,

this package is vi epel8

i also looked at https://docs.clamav.net/ and couldn't find anything that talks about freshclam-sleep

in fact, that existed in epel7 and the freshclam-sleep is the script used to run clamav updates vi cron, i had this setup on my rhel7 system but now after migration , the file was not within the clamav-update package in epel8 menahwile it is listed on epel7

I think you should ask Red Hat.  They don't exist in the official source.
