RE: [squid-users] How to upgrade Squid 3.0?

Mr. Cooper,

        Performing the standard installation from the ISO cd build that then
allows me to point to one of the mirror ftp servers for the rest of the
installation, packages, updates, etc., yes, squid 3.0 beta is available in
YAST.

I did have 2.5STABLE5 installed and working, but then I ran into HTTPS
issues (just wanted them forwarded not the more complicated stuff that I
have been reading about). After reading LOTS of postings, I went to 3.0.
That took care of part of my immediate problem (conflicting firewall rules
for the rest). So, before deploying this server, I wanted to have the latest
updates on it. Thus, my question on how to perform and update/upgrade with
an existing installation.

Yes, I am new and learning. Nice product on the Linux platform. Wish there
were more detailed docs in some areas and a configuration example area by
topics.

Best regards,

Greg

Hi Greg,

Please tell me SuSe are not shipping 3.0 binaries!?

3.0 is not labeled STABLE, and thus it is a development release for
developers and knowledgeable end users interested in testing the
development version to help find bugs (of which there are many) and help
get them fixed before it becomes STABLE.

The will be a guide to upgrading when it is time for people who need
that kind of assistance to upgrade. Folks who ought to be using 3.0 at
this point generally have the knowledge to understand the changes
between 2.5 and 3.0.

If you aren't one of those two types of people, I strongly suggest you
stick with the latest 2.5 STABLE version of Squid. We're all eager to
get 3.0 out into wide usage, but it just isn't ready for it yet.
