[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#685100: clamav-freshclam: please allow manual entry of update server name

Package: clamav-freshclam
Version: 0.97.5+dfsg-5
Severity: wishlist

While installing clamav-freshclam, I am prompted to select a server
for downloading updates. Could you please add an option to the list,
so that I can manually enter a server name?

I have an unusual situation where, due to an uncooperative firewall,
the "round robin" DNS names are not usable, and I need to tell
clamav-freshclam to use a specific server.

For now, my solution is to edit /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf manually.

Thanks.
