The best way to keep everything compatible is to rebuild the RPM based on
the new Squid version. Just grab the latest Fedora development SRPM,
install it then edit /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/squid.spec to suit your needs
and finally rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/squid.spec to build the new
RPM.

Note: It is adviceable to use a release number of 0.something for
homebrewed temporary upgrades. This way you won't collide too much with a
later official upgrade.
