Only if a developer/maintainer steps up to do so.

I can probably step up -- if someone could please guide me trough
the process of becoming an EPEL maintainer.

Are you a Fedora package maintainer? If so, you need to just request
branches through the normal SCM admin procedure. If not, then you need
to be sponsored into the packager group, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers
for details.

I'm not.

Seeing as amavisd-new is available in F14:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Everything/source/SRPMS/amavisd-new-2.6.4-1.fc12.src.rpm

and the missing dependencies for it is available from EPEL5:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/SRPMS/perl-Convert-TNEF-0.17-7.el5.src.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/SRPMS/cabextract-1.3-1.el5.src.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/SRPMS/altermime-0.3.7-2.el5.src.rpm

and everything passes a trivial build and start test on RHEL6 -- so
should I take over maintainership of these all, and submit them
following the Join_the_package_collection_maintainers routine ?

Well, there's (at least) one additional monkey wrench in this:

recently we revamped clamav in EPEL.
We need to fix up amavisd-new to handle the new clamav.

So, if you could modify the package for the new clamav that would be
outstanding.

Additionally, if we can get one of the amavisd-new maintainers to offer
to mentor you, we can sponsor you that way. See:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group#Becom e_a_comaintainer

Hope that helps.

I just tested upgrading to this clamav from epel-6-testing, and can't
see any immediate problems. Any hints to what you expect there to be
of problems here ?

# rpm -qa|egrep 'amavis|clam'
amavisd-new-snmp-2.6.4-1.oc3.noarch
clamav-db-0.97-3.el6.x86_64
amavisd-new-2.6.4-1.oc3.noarch
clamav-0.97-3.el6.x86_64
clamd-0.97-3.el6.x86_64

and amavisd finds both the primary and secondary scanners on startup:

Mar 5 12:33:14 asav amavis[14306]: Using primary internal av scanner code for ClamAV-clamd
Mar 5 12:33:14 asav amavis[14306]: Found secondary av scanner ClamAV-clamscan at /usr/bin/clamscan

Haven't tested any scanning yet, because this RHEL6 based mailserver
isn't complete yet..

I'll look into it, thanks!
