5. What is the optimal upgrade path of it? (LTS -> LTS, when new LTS is released? Stay on 103 until it's EOL? …?)
The packages are interchangeable. At the end of the 5 year support period, the user can simply transition to the next LTS release.
The question probably is, if there's only one clamav release available. For the kernels there are 6 LTS releases available: longterm: 5.10.79 longterm: 5.4.160 longterm: 4.19.217 longterm: 4.14.255 longterm: 4.9.290 longterm: 4.4.292 core/linux-lts is 5.10.79-1. For several reasons I stay with 4.19 LTS kernels. For some use cases I could use 5.4 LTS kernels, but kernels > 5.4 are no option for my machine and usage. [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ uname -rm 4.19.217-rt95-0.1000 x86_64 IOW if more than one clamav LTS should exist, what choice to do for packaging.
