HOWTO: aegis
Description: A GUI (gtk2-perl) front-end for File::Scan
Click here for ChangeLog
NOTE: I use GNU tar >= 1.13.25 so it's -j for .tar.bz2 files,
it's safe to assume that make, gcc, binutils, fileutils/coreutils, gawk, sed, and grep are prerequisites for almost everything

# aegis 0.1.2a
# ============
# Prerequisites:
# Perl
# Various Perl modules (see below)

# Prior to version 0.1.0, the package used to be called "aegis".  To avoid
# confusion with something else called aegis, it was renamed to
# aegis-virus-scanner.  If you have a tarball or source directory named just
# "aegis", remove it/them manually.  The commands below will only remove
# aegis-virus-scanner-* tarballs and source directories.

# This is the last 0.x version of Aegis, which is an on-demand front-end for
# the File::Scan Perl module.  This one hasn't been updated since January
# 2006 and is not supported by the author.  File::Scan hasn't been updated
# since May 2005.
#
# The 2.x version of Aegis is a background scanner that uses ClamAV (by way
# of File::Scan::ClamAV).  I have yet to try the 2.x version because I don't
# have a need for a background GUI scanner, but also because my desktop is
# KDE.  If/when I do, I'll add it here.
