* Add Long Term Support release of ClamAV
* Add CONFLICTS_INSTALL to security/clamav
* Add entry to UPDATING that explains
- Upstream changed their end-of-life policy and LTS release is
introduced
- How to switch from regular release (security/clamav) to LTS
release (security/clamav-lts)
Note about setting PORTEPOCH
In general new port should not set PORTEPOCH. But in this case it
should be set with following reason.
1. Recently upstream changed their end-of-life policy as following.
- Regular feature release (= 0.xyz.0 release) is released more
frequently, and life time of each feature release is shortened to
about 4 months.
- To compensate for the short lifetime of regular feature release,
Long Term Support feature release is introduced and its life time
is about 3 years.
2. First LTS starts with version 0.103.3 and it is same as current
version of security/clamav.
3. Because of short lifetime of regular feature release, it is
probable that not a few users of security/clamav want to switch to
security/clamav-lts after the latter is connected (and the former
is updated to 0.104.0).
3. For such users the entry is added to UPDATING about how to switch
from security/clamav to security/clamav-lts. And binary package
user is suggested to execute
`pkg set -o security/clamav:security/clamav-lts`. This command
changes the origin of already installed clamav packages. So user
can switch to LTS version without reinstalling.
4. But if PORTEPOCH isn't set in security/clamav-lts, binary package
user who executed above command will notice that version of
installed package (0.103.3,1) succeeds to current version of
security/clamav-lts (0.103.3). The situation doesn't change after
new patch release (0.103.4 for example) is released and it causes
the problem that installed package isn't properly upgraded with
`pkg upgrade`.
5. So PORTEPOCH is set in security/clamav-lts to prevent binary
package user from suffering from such problem.
