Comments on Building HAVP On CentOS 5.x

Building HAVP On CentOS 5.x HAVP (HTTP Antivirus Proxy) is a proxy with a ClamAV anti-virus scanner. The main aims are continuous, non-blocking downloads and smooth scanning of dynamic and password protected HTTP traffic. Havp antivirus proxy has a parent and transparent proxy mode. It can be used with squid or standalone. Its older rpms & src.rpms (0.86) don't work (i.e. conflict with the updated clamav), and newer rpm * src.rpm don't exist yet. So HAVP needs to be re-compiled. This guide shows how to build HAVP on CentOS 5.x.

Yeah u can fetch it from that repo as well. but once you update your clamav package, HAVP would again error on you (something on the lines of libclamav.so...). So you would still have to build it again. (Note: clamav update is different that freshclam..)

But anyway I didnt know about that repo. Nice to know its there.

Cheers
