[squid-users] Squid Degrading

[ngtech1ltd at gmail.com]

Thanks Alex!

I assume that for a testing purpose it should be good enough if it came from a known source.

My assumption is that if someone knows how to compile squid from sources
he should be able to understand what binaries he requires for basic tests.
I am not sure if it's since I am also a packager but pretty sure it's why I see it as OK.

And... I have found the  post manually:
[squid-users] Ubuntu 20.04 LTS repository for Squid 5.7 (rebuilt from sources in Debian unstable)
http://lists.squid-cache.org/pipermail/squid-users/2022-October/025301.html

Google.. manual page by page search labor paid off!!

All The Bests,
Eliezer

This is not my area of expertise. AFAICT, substituting v5 binaries with 
(properly built) v5 binaries will usually work, but it is not a 
supported (or necessary) Squid installation method.
