frontier-squid - The Frontier distribution of the Squid proxy caching server

License: GPL
Vendor: Koji
Description:
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients,
supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional
caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single,
non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially
hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking
DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests.  This
squid distribution has been expecially tuned to work with the Frontier
server to cache Database entries retrieved from an ORACLE back-end,
particularly its need for the http standard If-Modified-Since feature.

Packages

frontier-squid-4.15-2.1.osg35.el7.x86_64 [11.9 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2021-06-04):
- Upgrade to 4.15-2 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Fix SQUID_COMPRESS_LOGS=false, which was broken since 4.13-3.  Change
    it to also use the external logrotate command instead of the squid
    builtin log rotation.
frontier-squid-4.15-1.2.osg35.el7.x86_64 [11.9 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2021-05-11):
- Filter out unneeded python3 dependency added by rpm's automatic
  dependency generation, by overriding /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-requires macro.
frontier-squid-4.13-1.1.osg35.el7.x86_64 [8.8 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-06-29):
- Upgrade to 4.13-1tarball with the following release notes:
 - Update to squid-4.13 with release announcement at
     https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00117.html
    It includes a couple of relevant security advisories related to
    cache poisoning.
 - Remove patch for bug 5051 since it is included in the 4.13 release.
- Remove the recursion on the restorecon for SELinux in the %post install
    step, to avoid taking a long time when going through a large cache.
frontier-squid-4.12-2.1.osg35.el7.x86_64 [8.8 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-06-19):
- Upgrade to 4.12-2 tarball with the following release notes (from 4.12-1
   and 4.12-2):
 - Update to squid-4.12 with release announcement at
     https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00114.html
    It includes a couple of security advisories, but the are on
    features that as far as I know are not used by frontier-squid users.
 - Remove patches for bug #5030 and #5041 which are included in 4.12
 - Slightly update patch for bug #5051 as recommended by squid consultant
 - Note that an additional, more relevant squid advisory fixed in 4.12 was
    published late:
     https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00116.html
 - Support the "stdio:" prefix for access_log
frontier-squid-4.11-3.1.osg35.el7.x86_64 [7.2 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-06-03):
- Upgrade to 4.11-3 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Apply patch for bug #5051 which prevents a negative cache from
    persisting indefinitely with if-modified-since and collapsed forwarding.
 - Fix shoal when there are multiple squid workers.
 - Add cc.*\.in2p3\.fr to MAJOR_CVMFS.  It was already in ATLAS_FRONTIER
    so it was included for installations that accept both, but not for
    those that accept only MAJOR_CVMFS.
frontier-squid-4.11-2.1.osg35.el7.x86_64 [7.2 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-04-23):
- Upgrade to 4.11-2 tarball with the following release notes:
 - The 4.11 release announcement is now at
     https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00108.html
    The announcement was delayed because security vulnerabilities were
    being double-checked.
 - frontier-squid was not susceptible to the ESI vulnerability, because of
    missing libraries on the build machine.  Add --disable-esi to make
    sure it doesn't get accidentally enabled.
frontier-squid-4.10-3.1.osg35.el7.x86_64 [7.2 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-03-16):
- Upgrade to 4.10-3 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Update patch for squid bug #5022 to final version.
 - Add patch for squid bug #5030 which reported that negative caching
    was not working.  This is an important feature for keeping load
    down on CVMFS stratum 1s that are not hosting a repository.
frontier-squid-4.10-1.1.osg35.el7.x86_64 [7.2 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2020-02-03):
- Upgrade to 4.10-1 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Update to squid-4.10, with release notes at
    https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00103.html
   including a fix for a serious security vulnerability affecting
   reverse proxies and a potential information leak when proxying ftp.
 - Remove patch for bug #4735, as it has been included in the 4.10 release.
 - Change compressing log rotation back to use copytruncate when there
   are multiple workers, because the reconfigure signal triggers an
   SNMP bug when there are multiple workers (squid bug #5022).
 - Disable log rotatation when SQUID_MAX_ACCESS_LOG=0.  Using this is
    highly discouraged since standard logrotate is usually unable to
    keep up with the high volume of logs typically generated by squid.
    It also interferes with frontier-awstats support.
 - Change log rotating cron scripts to ignore commented lines in
    /etc/sysconfig/frontier-squid
frontier-squid-4.9-2.1.osg35.el7.x86_64 [7.2 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2019-11-10):
- Upgrade to 4.9-2 tarball with the following release note:
 - Fix bug in daily cron that prevented it from rotating any logs
frontier-squid-4.8-2.1.osg35.el7.x86_64 [7.2 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2019-08-29):
- Upgrade to 4.8-2 tarball with the following release note:
 - Add support for starting and stopping shoal-agent when installed and
   enabled by SQUID_AUTO_DISCOVER=true
- Add compilation and installation for shoal-agent
frontier-squid-4.8-1.1.osg35.el7.x86_64 [2.6 MiB] Changelog by Dave Dykstra (2019-07-17):
- Upgrade to 4.8-1 tarball with the following release notes:
 - Update to squid-4.8 with release notes at
    https://www.mail-archive.com/squid-announce@lists.squid-cache.org/msg00096.html
   There was no 4.7 announcement but here's the ChangeLog:
