RE: [squid-users] CentOS 4.3 and Squid Version

As for why the RHEL/CentOS packages are not up-to-date, that's a good
question (I've wondered that myself a few times..) - and as it *is* an
"official" package, Dag's repository doesn't contain it (though it has
related software like squidguard)
Either way, compiling it from source is no problem; I'm running it on some
30 production servers right now, using CentOS 4.2 or 4.3 - haven't bumped
into any problems on some fairly heavy-traffic sites.

If you really want to do it with yum/up2date/rpm, set up your own repo and
try building the latest sources (or perhaps the STABLE14 ones) against the
SPEC file included with RHEL's STABLE6 SRPM.

Subject: [squid-users] CentOS 4.3 and Squid Version

I'm getting ready to put 3 Squid reverse proxy servers into production and
I'm looking for the best distro do to this with and the best way to maintain
Squid updates. I'm familiar with CentOS 4.3 and would like to use that
distro but found that Squid 2.5 STABLE6 is the latest version for CentOS
4.3. Any reason why such a popular program like Squid would not be updated
for CentOS (Red Hat Clone)? I prefer to use up2date or yum to update
packages. Anyone have any suggestions for me?
