Right now we're running 3.1.6 and I'd like to upgrade to 3.1.12.2.
What I'd like to do is to save the current version of squid, just in
case. What do I need to save? I'm running on Ubuntu, and the only
version that I can (apparently) get using aptitude is
3.0.STABLE19-1ubuntu0.1, so I can't use that to just get 3.1.6, which
was installed as part of another pkg.
So, I'd like to archive the current version so I can put it back up
is I run into a problem.
Thanks.
Squid binaries within a series are drop-in replaceable.
On Ubuntu the main binary is /usr/sbin/squid3 or /usr/sbin/squid.
If you are worried about the helpers, they are in /usr/lib/squid3/ or
/usr/lib/squid/
Take a backup. Recovery is as simple as moving/copying the backed up
binary over top of the test one.
NP: if your 3.1.6 was a custom install they may have other binary
locations, same process though.
To upgrade with a custom build, just "squid -v" to find the path
settings (feature enable/disable and flags variables are all optional).
Make sure the paths are teh same though. Then in the sources configure
and 'make install". restart squid and viola`.
FYI: squid-3.1.12.* are known not to build with openssl 1.0.0 yet. You
will need openssl 0.9.8 for now if you want the ssl-crtd feature.
