Step 1: Install the necessary rpm packages

sudo yum install clamav-scanner clamav-update claws-mail-plugins-clamd

Step 2: Configure clamav

Edit /etc/freshclam.conf and remove or comment out the following line and adjust the values according to your needs.

# Comment or remove the line below.
Example

Run sudo freshclam to get an initial virus database.

Edit /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf and remove or comment out the following line and again adjust the values according to your needs. The values for TCPSocket and TCPAddr need to be enabled.

# Comment or remove the line below.
Example

Step 3: Enabled clamav and regular virus database updates via freshclam

Start the clamav scanner deamon with sudo systemctl start clamd@scan.service. Check if the service is running via sudo systemctl status clamd@scan.service. To permanently enabled the clamav scanner deamon at startup run sudo systemctl enable clamd@scan.service.

If you want automatic updates via freshclam edit /etc/sysconfig/freshclam and remove the last four lines. This will try to update the virus database via cron every three hours.

Step 4: Configure claws-mail to utilize the clamd plugin

Now start up claws mail and load the clamd plugin via Configuration -> Plugins -> Load… -> clamd.so Next go to Configuration -> Plugins -> Clam AntiVirus and fill in the values as needed. If automatic configuration does not work disable the checkbox and enter the values you specified in scan.conf for TCPSocket and TCPAddr.

Now you can grep a test signature (like Eicar) and see how the clamd plugins reports (and acts) on the signature.

One of these additions down the road was the tool wmmenugen which can be used to parse xdg style desktop files into proplist files. The generated proplist files can in turn be read by WindowMaker e. g. as menus. However, up to now there was no direct way to dynamically use the proplists generated by wmmenugen as menus.

With this patch series the OPEN_PLMENU option has been added to WindowMaker to allow dynamically generated proplist menus. This allows for some nice dynamic menus like

(
 Applications,
 OPEN_PLMENU,
 "|| find /usr/share/applications -type f -name '*.desktop' | xargs wmmenugen -parser:xdg"
 ),

for a well known application menu or

(
 Desktop,
 OPEN_PLMENU,
 "|| find ~/Desktop -type f -name '*.desktop' | xargs wmmenugen -parser:xdg"
 ),

for a desktop menu.

Fedora users can already test this new feature in rawhide or fedora 18 with this update.

Upcoming events

What does this mean? Wine implements its own version of the Internet Explorer. For this it uses a customized version of the Mozilla Gecko layout engine (see Wine Gecko). If wine creates a new wineprefix for a user or a version upgrade of wine wants a new version of wine gecko the user is asked to download a windows build of the gecko engine (~17M). On systems with 64bit & 32bit wine the download has to be done twice. This needs to be done per wineprefix, even if you need to start with a fresh prefix the files will have to be downloaded again.

What can be done about this? Wine has a search path for wine gecko which includes a central place on the system. This is done so distributions can bundle wine gecko. While wine gecko is licensed under OSS licenses we are talking about building a windows build of the gecko engine. For the past two years this was not possible in fedora due to the available mingw. With the inclusion of a new mingw stack for the upcoming fedora release 17 (see mingw-w64 cross compiler) wine gecko can be cross compiled on fedora out of the box.

Thus wine 1.5.0 will pull in one (or on 64bit installations two) new packages on upgrade – mingw{32,64}-wine-gecko – which contain a system managed version of the wine gecko engine. All users upgrading from an older wineprefix (before 1.5.0) or creating a new wineprefix will not have to download wine-gecko from an external source and will be automatically using the shipped version.

• rxvt-unicode: standard version
• rxvt-unicode-ml: version enhanced for multi-language support, including unicode3 support
• rxvt-unicode-256color: standard version with 256color support (TERM will be rxvt-unicode-256color)
• rxvt-unicode-256color-ml: version enhanced for multi-language support and 256colors

Builds for F13 and F14 are in updates-testing. If you want to try out the 256color support beware of #653081. As a workaround you can run

tic /usr/share/doc/rxvt-unicode-9.09/etc/rxvt-unicode.termcap


which will put the needed terminfo files in ~/.terminfo

Feedback as always welcome.
