Why does ClamTk not enable its update service by default?

Why aren’t they enabled by default? Seems strange to make the user do:

#!/usr/bin/env
clamtk && \
kdotool windowclose $(kdotool getactivewindow) && \
run0 freshclam && \
clamtk

I am not so sure if it is a good idea that you are necro posting into a topic which had the last comment in Dec. 2021.

Please think of a title for an alternative topic, which we can link to it.

The user you replied to, was last active here on: Last Post Aug 10, 2024 | Seen Oct 3, 2024

@ilikelinux, if you think that, change the forum rules. There’s no point in making a duplicate for a topic that already exists, because an arbitrary timespan has passed. The forum specifically removed its timeout limits to allow this some years ago.

This would have been better for everyone’s inboxes, and to ensure this topic didn’t go off-topic, as a DM. Respond with a DM, if you’ve a desire to.

ClamTk is no longer maintained · Issue #24 · flathub/com.gitlab.davem.ClamTk · GitHub MikeNavy

Hi,
ClamTk is no longer maintained, but ClamTk is a GUI only, and it works.
ClamTk flatpak is not only ClamTk, but ClamTk + ClamAV executables.
And the problem is that the ClamAV executables are now obsolete: current version of flatpak uses ClamAV 1.1.1 while the latest version of stable ClamAV executables is 1.4.1.
So, this flatpak can last, provided ClamAV executables are updated. And ClamTk frontend will be able to be used, except if ClamAV executables change the way they are called by an external program.
Regards,
MN

As you can see, project is not maintained anymore. On fedora it will work as long as it works, as the message above states.

I disagree.
This topic has a solution marked 4 years back and it is pointless for your discussion to reopen a solved topic from 8 fedora release versions back.

If you have a comment about the current state of software then open a new topic for your discussion. Feel free to link back to the older discussion if you wish, but please try to keep discussions relevant to software as it exists, current configs, and the current state of your system.

I am splitting your necro posts to a new current thread and closing the original 4 year old and already solved topic.

@computersavvy, per @ilikelinux’s helpful response at /4, in retrospect, this was relevant to the original thread, because the state of the software shan’t change anymore. The original poster and I are likely using the same version of ClamTk.

However, because the original thread is locked, with a notice pointing here, I’m satisfied, so thanks.

Clam-tk may not change, BUT the overall file system, and almost all other software does including kernel, drivers, hardware in most cases, etc.

Reopening a thread that already has a solution and is behind by at least 4 years and at least 7 fedora release versions is still discouraged.

When posting on a thread that has been ignored that long and has a solution there is a notification sent to all who have previously posted there. This is likely why @ilikelinux chose to respond to your post and he tagged me for assistance.

Note likely.
Fedora 35 was released in Nov of 2021. so the OP on that thread certainly was using a different version of clamtk than what you have.

You can find the default enabled systemd services for :fedora: there.
It it’s not listed there it is not enabled by default.
