and I think that this is a good idea. Thanks for the refresher on that info
(might be nice to put it in the "i cswreleasemgr" file)
But if you read the specific question I had, it was not "should we
ship a signature database", but "should we ship it in /var/opt?"

This is not a "random new rule": it was generally agreed upon, a while
back, that shipping files in /var was usually a bad idea, and that it
was preferable to generate them from templates in /opt/csw at install
time.

So how about moving
/var/opt/csw/clamav/db/daily.cvd
/var/opt/csw/clamav/db/main.cvd

to /opt/csw/share/clamav/ or something, and then implementing a
"if {var file} does not exist, copy in this file instead" postinstall ?
