I am happy to release squid RPMs for Oracle Linux Server versions 6 and 
7 for squid 3.4.14 and 3.5.13.

In this special RPMs release the packages are separated into three:
- squid (core)
- squid-helpers
- squid-debug

In these packages:
- Due to some selinux security restrictions the "pinger" helper was 
turned off by default
- There is a default visible_hostname value of "squidcache"
- For the Oracle Linux Server 6 there is an experimental package named 
"squid-selinux-pinger-allow" which enables the "pinger" helper to run 
with selinux enabled. (you will need to add "pinger_enable on" into 
squid.conf)

* Since Oracle Linux doesn't provides the "perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-X509" 
dependency as a package but only allow to install it using CPAN I 
packaged a dummy package that will provide the dependency for the 
squid-helpers package. The RPM db and will allow an installation of an 
external RPM if constructed later manually.
* To install the "Crypt::OpenSSL::X509" module you will need tp install:
- gcc
- openssl-devel
Then run in shell "cpan install Crypt::OpenSSL::X509"

* I also added couple packages that doesn't exist on the Oracle Linux 
Server repositories:
- htop
- ccache
- ccze
