[. . . ] Its purpose is to allow a network administrator to update the Avira security products without having an Internet connection. The Fusebundle Generator allows generating those archives locally in an incremental way. It is no longer required to download the entire archive after each engine and signature update. For older versions of Avira products, there are • • nVDF (incremental) http://dl. antivir. de/package/fusebundle/win32/int/vdf_fusebundle. zip iVDF (Container VDF) http://dl. antivir. de/down/vdf/ivdf_fusebundle_nt_en. zip We needed to have the possibility to incrementally generate fusebundles for all platforms on users’ computers instead of having them to download each time 38-60MB from our websites for each incremental update. The name of the created fusebundle will be : fusebundle-<platform>-int. zip where <platform> is one of the platforms: freebsd_v62 linux_glibc22 linux_glibc22_s390 openbsd_v39 solaris_sparc win32* linux_glibc24_x86_64 macosx_x86_32 macosx_x86_64 solaris_sparc64_v8 win64 Note to Win32 There is one exception to the above mentioned archive name. In order to be backward compatible with the Windows products, the name of the archive remains vdf_fusebundle. zip.

Other operating systems Assuming that you have an Avira Unix product running there, you must first make sure that the old files are moved into a backup directory. If you don’t move the files and simply overwrite them with the newer versions the product might behave strangely or even malfunction. After the old files are moved away, the archive must be unpacked and the respective product must be restarted or reloaded. Tool usage fusebundle [options] Note The parameter names are not case sensitive. Ideally, you don’t have to provide any parameter because the tool searches automatically for its configuration file in the directory from where it is executed. Configuration file The default configuration file fusebundle. conf must contain two mandatory options: • • The list of Internet update servers internet-srvs=http://professional. avira-update. com/update Specifies the installation directory for updated product files. install-dir=install Avira Fusebundle Generator (Status 2011-10-27) 5 Tool usage Options Note These options can be used in a command line in their short and long format.
