This exactly is the point! Versions before 0.92 are vulnerable, that
should be fixed, as soon as possible.

I did not whine! I build it myself clamav by just replacing the $pkgver
on my private x86_64 box. I just wanted to call some attention.

But Arch Linux is known to be very up to date on nearly all packages.
Why not on that security realted issue ?


When clamav 0.94 is released, where should I upload the new PKGBUILD
including the binaries for x86_64 and i686 ?


Sorry for my english, it isn't the best :)
