ClamAV 0.104.0 Release Candidate - Development

31 Jul 2021


      Hi,
ClamAV will be updated to 0.104.0 in the next "about two or four weeks",
see:
https://blog.clamav.net/2021/07/clamav-01040-release-candidate-is-here.html
To be prepared, I tried "to verify that [you] 0.104.0 can [be] build and
run in your environment".
Interesting problem, because "As of ClamAV 0.104, CMake is required to
build ClamAV."
So first I tried to find out which 'cmake' commands are needed to build
0.104.0 the same way as 0.103 (hopefully) and started building, based on
Core 158.
But I always got the following errors from 'frr 6.0', no chance:
***SNIP***

***SNAP**
Then I tried with current 'next / Core 159' (25.7.2021) and build went
through. No errors.
Questions and thoughts:
- Could "someone" please check my 'cmake' changes - are they ok this
way? Please see attached lfs and rootfile for 0.104.0.
- I couldn't test with arm so I disabled this lfs part for now:
***SNIP***
#ifeq "$(BUILD_PLATFORM)" "arm"
#CONFIGURE_FLAGS = --disable-fanotify
#endif
#
***SNAP***
- When do we plan to ship Core 159? If the final ClamAV 0.104.0 comes
out, I would like to update ClamaV as soon as possible, but at the
moment, I have no clue how to build 0.104.0 with Core 158 and 'frr 6.0'.
- They're planning (starting with 0.103 or 0.104.0? as) a LTS feature
release:

What do we think of this...? ;-)
