Note: this posting is more or less obsolete with regard to the current 5.x Mail::Toaster.


Here's how to upgrade ClamAV from ports:


1. Update your ports tree.

Code Select Expand

# cvsup -g /etc/ports-supfile


2. Check what version of clamav you are about to compile (just in case)

Code Select Expand

# cat /usr/ports/security/clamav/distinfo


3. Compile and install ClamAV

Code Select Expand


# cd /usr/ports/security/clamav
# make install clean


4. Restart the clamd daemon

Code Select Expand


# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd.sh restart
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-freshclam.sh restart


That's it.


If you want to install a version of ClamAV that isn't in the FreeBSD ports collection yet, fetch the tarball you want from http://www.clamav.net and follow the instructions inside the INSTALL file. I.e. ./config, make, make install, make clean. Then follow point 3 and 4 above.
