* 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. |
