[SOLVED] Missing Package - ClamAV

Not a crisis item...low priority at best.

ClamAV package installs but there is no package which handles open-rc management of the ClamAV daemon clamd.

I can find is Alpine Linux's version of the open-rc init.d file HERE
Funtoo's version of the open-rc init.d is HERE

Could someone more familiar with packaging and open-rc pull this onto their plate, please?

Have you tried either of them? I could package it after our repo freeze is over, but I've never run clamav and can't really test.

[EDIT] There's also the gentoo repository which might be of interest.

I didn't think of looking at gentoo because of their stance on systemd/open-rc being a little too tolerant. I cited the funtoo reference as project is headed by same person who started gentoo. Daniel Robbins (BDFL of gentoo/funtoo) has explicitly stated systemd will never touch funtoo. So, naturally I looked at the funtoo repositories for code for a open-rc solution. There's quite a bit of cross-over between the two projects but funtoo is focused on open-rc only. The catch being compile locally, like gentoo.

I haven't been feeling very experimental WRT testing new services. My system "feels" fragile as it is at the moment. However, missing an open-rc service for anti-virus seemed important to speak up about.

You don't have to create any packages; just copy the init script in /etc/init.d, chmod +x it, copy the conf file in /etc/conf.d and tweak them (if needed, usually, only the shebang needs to be changed to "#!/usr/bin/openrc-run") until clamav start/stops successfully. Then post them here for packaging.

I can't remember where I stole my rc script from but this is the one I use pretty successfully:

Code: [Select]

# clamav        Script to start/stop clamd.

# chkconfig:    - 63 38

# pidfile: /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid

       return $RETVAL1
}

stop() {

       killall clamd

Hello,

I can't find a "clamav-openrc" package, only "clamav-runit" and "clamav-s6".
maybe it's missing.. (?) 

many thanks if someone could add it.

I'm wondering why the package has acpid-openrc dependency?

That was my bad, it should have been  openrc as a dependency, at the time I created it on AUR.
