[steve288]

My logs says that my clam is outdated.
WARNING: Local version: 0.90.1 Recommended version: 0.90.2

I try typing "yum upgrade clamav" but it says ;
.......
Could not find update match for clamav
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion

================================================================

I tryed yum update and that says

I try typing "yum upgrade clamav" but it says...

Because 0.90.2 has not moved into the smeupdates repository. It currently resides in the smetest repository. At your own risk, you may do the following:

# yum upgrade clamav clamav-db clamd smeserver-clamav --enablerepo=smetest

Thanks thats helpfully.

Im sure that you cant answer this but IM just wondering out loud. Why the warning message would be someone false or at least confusing. In that its saying we should upgrade when this is not really a fully tested version.

Thank you.

In fact clamav tells you that there is a newer version.
The dev team of smeserver needs to build and test clamav to make sure everything is working perfectly before they release it to the public.
Thats why it is in the testing repository.
The sme team are NOT the clamav developers but in fact the packagers.

So smeserver is build on a compilation of different software developed by other developers, the sme developers put it all together so it works seamlessly.

'cause that message comes from clamav and not from SME..

btw, it says

WARNING: Local version: 0.90.1 Recommended version: 0.90.2
DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq

if you have a spare machine or a virtual one for testing purposes, you could help dev team to test new clamav release

Ive been getting the 'WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!' on a few SME servers for some time. Any idea when they'll release it?

Searching in bugzilla leads to a rather long thread of the sme dev team attempting to isolate an issue in 0.90.1 which is affecting a number of people. Moving to 0.90.2 in some cases was exacerbating the problem. So I expect they are trying to isolate the root cause and potentially get it fixed upstream before moving forward.
