Introduction

This post is now pretty pointless. The OpenBSD 3.7 ports tree is no longer maintained so you’ll only get up to clamav 0.88.3 (I think). Take a look at this post on compiling clamav from source.

This reference document describes the process for updating
ClamAV on OpenBSD 3.7 Release via the ports system.

Requirements

• OpenBSD 3.7 Release (Although these intuctions will work on
  any version of OpenBSD with a little alteration)
• A local copy of the OpenBSD Ports tree
• This document assumes you already have a working (But out of date) copy of ClamAV installed.

Instructions

I use tcsh for my shell so you may need to alter the syntax for setting the
CVSROOT environment variable:

Update the Ports tree

Make sure you pick a cvs mirror close to you.

host: su
root# tcsh
root# setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.de.openbsd.org:/cvs
root# cd /usr/ports
root# cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_3_7 -Pd

Find and remove the clamav package

root# kill -s QUIT `cat /path/to/clamd.pid`
root# pkg_info -a | grep clamav
clamav-0.88.2       free virus scanner
root# pkg_delete clamav-0.88.2

Make and install the updated package and start the ClamAV daemon

root# cd /usr/ports/security/clamav
root# make install
(… Screenfulls of output ….)
root# freshclam
root# /usr/local/sbin/clamd
