Update the squid-2.4 port to actually _be_ squid-2.4 . Phew.
This port builds, installs, packages, pkg_delete's cleanly.
I'm going to run it through some more linting and tidying up before
I'm completely done with it.
Differences from squid22/squid23 :
* install-pinger isn't built. I'll tackle this later, possibly by creating
a squid user/group. I don't like having suid binaries installed,
even more so when 99% of the users of this port won't even enable
ICMP pinging.
* I've enabled the lru and heap replacement policies. LRU is used by
default, the beauty here is that the user can choose one or the other
without needing a recompile.
* I've enabled ufs (sync), diskd (async) and null (no caching, only proxying).
This again lets users choose what they want without needing a recompile.
The default is still a 100mb cache in /usr/local/squid/cache/ running
ufs. I would change it to diskd but if the user hasn't tweaked their
sysV shm/msg parameters sufficiently they'll just be puzzled when squid
gives mysterious sysV errors (and if they load it up enough to have UFS
become an issue, they'd be better off reading the squid FAQ anyhow..)
Squid 2.0 is the-version-formerly-known-as-1.2.
v2.0 has NOVM-like functionality internally, so there's no seperate
NOVM version. v1.1.* is no longer officially supported.
"We are currently in a beta-test period for Squid-1.2. If you like
seeing Squid coredump frequently, please join us!"
"This is BETA software. Do not run this on your production systems.
Logfile formats are subject (and likely) to change at any time without
warning.
Here is a brief list of the major features of this version:
HTTP/1.1 persisitent connections.
Lower VM usage; in-transit objects are not held fully in memory.
Totally independent swap directories.
Customizable error texts.
FTP supported internally; no more ftpget.
Asynchronous disk operations (optional, requires pthreads library).
Internal icons for FTP and gopher directories.
snprintf() used everywhere instead of sprintf().
...and many more!
"
As well, there is support for using MD5 or SHA hashes of URL's in the
cache index for space (and speed?) savings, SNMP support, poll(2) is
used by default, etc.
Please see http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/1.2.beta/ before using.
and stability measures.
This port installs in a "FreeBSD-native" tree (like apache) rather than
with a mini hierarchy under /usr/local/squid/{bin,etc,cache,logs,...}
(the default behavior seems to have changed between 1.0.0 and 1.0.20)
Also, build a rc.d/squid.sh script.
