clamav-getfiles - preliminary manpage

clamav-getfiles is a script that uses freshclam to download current virus databases from the clamav web site and packages them up to a clamav-data.deb package for installation on a system that cannot do the download for itself or for local distribution.

clamav-getfiles doesn't take any parameters.

It places the .deb file and accompanying source package in the current directory.

The following environment variables can be used to control the package build process:

CLAMSCAN - Path to the clamscan binary. Default: $(which clamscan)

FRESHCLAM - Path to the freshclam binary. Default: /usr/share/clamav-getfiles/freshclam-wrapper

SIGTOOL - Path to the sigtool binary. Default: $(which sigtool)

DEBHELPERVERSION - Version of Debhelper to have clamav-data build depend on. Default: Hardcoded into the script.

DISTRIBUTION - Distribution to put in the changelog. Default: local

AUTOGENWARNING - Warning to put into the package description. If none, no warning is included. Default: Warning text hardcoded into the script.

0 - Package built successfully.

1 - An error has happened during database download.

2 - Package didn't pass verification tests.

3 - An error has happened during package build.

10 - No new databases have been found, no new package built.

Many. Be prepared to debug.
