[EPEL-devel] Future of ClamAV on EPEL ?

[Andrew C Aitchison]

This question is prompted by a question from kumar bava about EPEL7
on the ClamaAV Users list:
https://lists.clamav.net/pipermail/clamav-users/2023-March/013338.html

EPEL currently ship the anti-virus ClamAV v0.103.8

From September ClamAV 0.103 will be EOL, and all
supported versions will require Rust.

Rust is available on RHEL 7, 8 and 9 as a part of Red Hat Developer Tools.
Does that mean that EPEL will or will not be able to continue packaging
ClamAV ?

ClamAV do provide rpms, so it may not be the end of the world if
ClamAV disappears from EPEL, but the details of the packing,
especially config locations and defaults may be different.

Thanks,
