1) The latest version of clamav has improved capabilities for third
party signatures, besides fixing some bugs, enhancements, etcetera.
There really is no reason to use an older version. In fact, I believe
versions < 0.96.4 (I forget which exactly) do not handle certain third
party formats correctly. Since a user could be downloading this script
for the first time with a potentially older version of clamav, I
thought it best to insure that they have the latest one available.
Since only a few packages are involved, and they are quite small
actually, it just seemed logical (to me anyway) to have the latest
version of the required applications available. Actually, "Bash" has to
be >=3.x also. The script is going to be using "named" arrays in a
future release, so version >=4 will be required then anyway.
2) You are correct, there is an extraneous "diff" file present. Two of
us were working on this at the same time; therefore, doubling the
chances of a mistake. I can either fix the port on my side and submit a
new "diff" or they can correct it there. I'll wait until someone
contacts me.
Thanks!
