[squid-users] when will squid 4 be production ready?

[Eliezer Croitoru]

Just to be clear..(since I see that I didn't sent a "replay all" email)

I am talking about a ssl_db directory creation ie like in this line:
https://github.com/rockyluke/docker-squid/blob/fe98b0c27cc2757268c5a07bf862e7f5bfa9570d/4.0.21/Dockerfile#L69

> /bin/security_file_certgen -c -s /var/lib/ssl_db

it still requires a "-M" not when I run it as a helper of squid at 
"start\run" time.

Did the issue makes more sense now?
