Squid 2.4 is no longer officially supported by the squid development team (look for Henrik Nordström's postings on the squid mailinglists about 2.4 problems). I'll check with the respective maintainers but I think that all squid24 consumers in the tree will work with squid 2.5 just as well. I consider doing a squid-3 port once it gets ready for production use. I will check this with the squid team beforehand. >> > Which email address do you want to use (current maintainer CCed)? >> >> It would be <tmseck@netcologne.de>. > > As Edwin already asked portmgr I let handle him the issue. Ok, it's for the archives then.
