Hi Orion,

clamav in EL7 and EL8 to 1.0.X once 0.103.X goes EOL.  

This would be awesome!

I just looked at https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav/issues/842 after reading your message. I'm sorry that I and no one on my team responded sooner.  It looks like you may be building directly into the source directory or else copying the source into the build directory.  Either way, somehow the encrypted test files from the source are getting colocated with the unencrypted test files inside the build/unit_tests/input/clamav_hdb_scanfiles directory, and that's confusing the tests and causing a failure.

My recommendation is to make a subdirectory for the build else just a separate directory entirely.  This keeps the source directory as clean as possible from any files written during the build.  I think our build system still adds a few extra files during the build to the source directory  (like .pyc files from running test scripts which I'm not terribly happy about), but it's largely untouched.

I've been looking into things and I think we will be able to update
clamav in EL7 and EL8 to 1.0.X once 0.103.X goes EOL.  We're basically
just waiting on one issue to get resolved at the moment:

https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav/issues/842

We will probably provide a COPR repo for early adopters once that issue
is resolved.
