Actually Build Squid 7

In order to get Squid 7 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS we will use the original version from Debian Unstable Repository. Run script 03_build_squid.sh to do the compilation.

#!/bin/bash

if [[ $EUID -eq 0 ]]; then
   echo "This script must NOT be run as root" 1>&2
   exit 1
fi

# drop squid build folder
rm -R build/squid

# we will be working in a subfolder make it
mkdir -p build/squid

# set squid version
source squid.ver

# decend into working directory
pushd build/squid

# get squid from debian experimental
wget http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/squid/squid_${SQUID_PKG}.dsc
wget http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/squid/squid_${SQUID_VER}.orig.tar.xz
wget http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/squid/squid_${SQUID_VER}.orig.tar.xz.asc
wget http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/squid/squid_${SQUID_PKG}.debian.tar.xz

# unpack the source package
dpkg-source -x squid_${SQUID_PKG}.dsc

# build the package
cd squid-${SQUID_VER} && dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -us -uc

# and revert
popd

squid.ver file is just to easier manage Squid versions in script.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# set squid version
SQUID_VER="7.1"
SQUID_PKG="${SQUID_VER}-1"

After build is successful, run script 04_install_squid.sh to install Squid.

#!/bin/bash

if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
   echo "This script must be run as root" 1>&2
   exit 1
fi

# set squid version
source squid.ver

# decend into working directory
pushd build/squid

# install squid packages
sudo apt-get install squid-langpack
dpkg --install squid-common_${SQUID_PKG}_all.deb
dpkg --install squid_${SQUID_PKG}_amd64.deb
dpkg --install squid-openssl_${SQUID_PKG}_amd64.deb

# and revert
popd

# switch to openssl based squid
update-alternatives --set squid /usr/sbin/squid-openssl

# verify the installed squid binary
systemctl stop squid && systemctl start squid && systemctl status squid && /usr/sbin/squid -v
