hi

howto install squid 3.0.STABLE8-3 from Lenny under Etch without upgrade to Lenny?

farslayer · 02-15-2009, 10:55 PM

I would have said use backports, but since etch is now oldstable, I don't know how much longer this will be valid..

http://packages.debian.org/search?ke...etch-backports

and the version of Squid in Lenny is the following..

Code:

 
debianetch:~# apt-cache policy squid
squid:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.7.STABLE3-4.1
  Version table:
     2.7.STABLE3-4.1 0
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages

don't know where you came up with 3.0Stable8-3

3.0Stable8-3 is the Lenny package and I'd like to install Lenny package under Etch, if possible?

I see Lenny has both 2.7 and 3.0.. but only 2.7 has been backported to Etch, and is available in the backports repository.

You have three options then.

1. Use Squid 2.7 from Debian Backports and install it on Etch, using the standard backports method.
---- http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/do...d=instructions
---- http://packages.debian.org/etch-backports/squid

2. install squid 3 manually from the source on Squids web site http://www.squid-cache.org/

3. Uupgrade to Lenny and install Squid 3 from the Debian repositories.

Lenny is now Stable, having been released this past weekend, so I'm not sure why you don't want to upgrade your entire system.

Etch is now considered oldstable and will only be supported for one more year, so you should at least start considering an upgrade plan at this point.

The fourth method, which I don't advise, would be installing the Lenny package on Etch and running a mixed system. You really need to know what you are doing in order to do this without causing yourself grief and ending up with a completely broken system. If you have to ask how to do this, then quite frankly you shouldn't, and you should stick with one of the three methods mentioned above.

thx, but where can I download debian squid 3.0 STABLE 8-3 as a .deb package?
could someone post pls a download link?

farslayer · 02-16-2009, 01:57 PM

I don't believe one exists for etch, you will have to create the .deb package yourself using the source code.

unless you can track one down somewhere on the net from some obscure unofficial source.

Best of luck.

I think the upgrade to Lenny is the best way.

what happens with /etc/squid3/squid.conf after squid upgrade normally?
does squid 3.0 PRE5 use the same config file like 3.0 STABLE 8-3?

I've done the upgrade to Lenny and now I have the following squid packages installed:

Code:

# dpkg -l | grep squid
ii  sarg                                 2.2.5-2                                         squid analysis report generator
ii  squid-cgi                            2.7.STABLE3-4.1                                 Squid cache manager CGI program
ii  squid-common                         2.7.STABLE3-4.1                                 Internet object cache (WWW proxy cache) - common files
ii  squid3                               3.0.STABLE8-3                                   A full featured Web Proxy cache (HTTP proxy)
ii  squid3-cgi                           3.0.STABLE8-3                                   A full featured Web Proxy cache (HTTP proxy) - control CGI
ii  squid3-client                        3.0.PRE5-5                                      A full featured Web Proxy cache (HTTP proxy) - control utility
ii  squid3-common                        3.0.STABLE8-3                                   A full featured Web Proxy cache (HTTP proxy) - common files

but what's sarg?

I think, you must deinstall/remove this package

Code:

ii  squid-cgi                            2.7.STABLE3-4.1                                 Squid cache manager CGI program
ii  squid-common                         2.7.STABLE3-4.1                                 Internet object cache (WWW proxy cache) - common files
