upgrading from FreeBSD ports takes only a small numbers of minutes ( 3
from the 82 -> 83 upgrade i made on a 800Mhz, 2go ram freebsd 4.x box)
so i think you could manage to put this into a "not too loaded" windows
quite easely. At least if not on a very higly loaded server. The second
solution is perhaps to run the clamd on different sockets then the
restart of mimedefang could make the switch, after that you uninstall
the old version . But this way require some tweaks as the ports will not
let you install without uninstalling the old version first. The package
runs fine, it's just that when they change the format of the virus DB
that you really need to run and upgrade the daemon, minor upgrade does
not REQUIRE the update, it's just better for your safety or the perf
depending of what the upgrade answer to. :)
