[Pkg-clamav-devel] Starting preparations for 0.95rc1+dfsg-1

Hi all,

A brief status update:

No news here. The current state should be sane, but a review would be useful.

I've done at least one round of review myself, but a native speaker's input is
still desireable.

I'll take care of that.

Done.

Done.

Postponed, may be fixed at any time.

My current plan is to upload to unstable as soon as possible. Because of the
SONAME bump of libclamav, however, this will need to pass NEW. Therefore, there
will be a timeframe of days or weeks for additional input. Once clamav has in
fact reached unstable I'll ask for binNMUs of our rdepends. By then we might
already have received several updates to translations which can then go into a
-2 upload that will also provide bugfixes for all those bugs that I now
introduced (at least so I guess).

One big fat warning: I've prepared all the clamav-milter stuff, but I've never
used clamav-milter myself and also don't plan to do so. If anybody out there is
in fact using clamav-milter, please speak up or just build the package yourself
from the git repo.

Best,
Michael
