Re: ClamAV updates?

I have recently updated a system at work from SuSE 10.0 to
openSUSE 11.2 in the hopes that it would get automatic updates
again. This system is scanning mail for viruses using ClamAV.

When it was still 10.0, I had to manually update ClamAV regularly,
by fetching the sources and re-compiling. With recent ClamAV
versions this has become a major compilation job that took a long
time on the poor little machine.

With the new version I sort of assumed that the new ClamAV updates,
that usually are brought forward as "security updates", would be
part of the automatic updates of the system. And I think they
were, when 10.0 was still a supported system.

But now, with ClamAV 0.96.1 released on May 19th, the system is
still at ClamAV 0.96 and no updates are offered.
ClamAV is complaining loudly: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
(it always does this when a newer version is available)

Is there any hope for a ClamAV update via openSUSE or am I back
to having to compile this myself?
clamAV is in the 11.2 update directory http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.2/rpm/i586/
