Mirror update

[pamidou]

Hi,
Mirror for avast 4.x is a very good stuf but it only exist on windows
version.
I try to make one on linux because my server is redhat.
My mirror script works for selecting version, selecting files, downloading
update and making distribution but the only thing that was wrong was the
authentication of the def files. At the end of all def files there is a
MD5 hash for that but i didn't find how to compute the right MD5 sum.
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance.

Why

# md5sum --help 
# man md5sum 
# md5sum file1 file2 file3 >MD5SUMS
# md5sum -cv MD5SUMS

can't be used on RH?

Hi,
I know how to compute MD5SUMS.
The problem is to know what are the files or what is the string to compute the right md5 sum, because avast seems to verify that md5 before update to verify the autenticity of update.
Can somedbody help me please?

Does this have anything to do with the desktop version of Avast for Linux?

Hello Pamidou,

I was wondering if you have any news on this?

avast verifies the authenticity of the update (of itself), but why do you need this info?
avast.setup file is a temporary file created in order to update avast and then it's deleted automatically.

Hi Tech,

Thanks but what is the content of the file avast.setup.
I need to know how to compute this md5 string because i try to make a mirror server for my home network.
My server is RedHat 4 and my clients are windows computer.
I made a bash script that download the update for windows clients but at the end of servers_mirror.def file there is a MD5 string that i don't know how to compute.
Avast windows clients seems to verify that MD5 to update itself.
All downloaded files from my script are ok but servers_mirror.def is not good and avast windows clients doesn't update itself.
So can you help me please. Thanks
