[SOLVED] squid v3.5 out of support

elcore · 11-30-2019, 02:10 AM

Squid on slackbuilds.org is very old, latest 3.5 was 3.5.28 before it went EOL.
If anyone here is still using a sbo package, I'd recommend update to 4.9 (which is the current version in gentoo portage)

I've tested v4.9 on slackware-14.2 (with openssl-1.0.2t) it builds/installs/runs fine.
Had a minor issue/missmatch with (v3.5) configuration and (v4.9) pid file but nothing serious, probably something for maintainer to look into.
IIRC I had to manually create and chown the directory for it to chroot into, before it would run properly.

Based on the Git changes, the SlackBuild looks like it might be orphaned. Opportunity knocks for a new maintainer!

There's a few security fixes in v4.10, it was announced at security.gentoo.org

If anyone wants to step up as maintainer for squid, please do so

Marking this [solved] since it was updated to 4.13 on SBo.

Just a suggestion: prepare SlackBuild for Squid 5, there is a big difference between the versions, for example in the case of ICAP. Also in the SlackBuild configuration are missing the options for SSL Bumping.

hi teoberi,

just FYI, if you want to step in for maintainership, squid is still up for grabs...

Right now I don't have time for something like that and I'm old-fashioned anyway, when I need something I compile it from sources strictly with the necessary options. I do this even for packages that are already in Slackware (e.g. PHP, Postfix, Dovecot, etc.)
Squid I think is one of the oldest packages I have used (along with PostgreSQL) and to which I am very attached.
Maybe I'll try someday, but now I'm not very familiar with SlackBuild (the only SBo package used is iucode_tool) and I played a bit with Eric Hameleers' p7zip using this new forks from p7zip code:

So sorry for bumping this again, but..
SBo outputs a squid package which is not portable. Compiles with march=native by default, regardless of SLKCFLAGS.
When installed on another CPU, you get illegal instruction. Looked into sources at some point & added:

Code:

  --disable-arch-native

Not sure if already solved on SBo or not. Maybe it'll help someone with the same problem.
