I'm currently maintaining squid, and squid-2.0 has been released. We have been running the beta versions on our own machines for quite some time and it's much better/faster than the 1.2 versions.
However the problem is dat squid-2.0 is totally incompatible with squid-1.2. The cache directory and file format has changed, and the config file format has changed .. in fact it's a new package. How do I handle this? Should I just make a new package "squid2" that conflicts with squid-1.2? If I do that, I have the problem that the squid source package creates 4 binary packages. Should I do a new upload of the latest squid-1.2 with only the squid .deb, and upload the rest with squid2? Hmm I've formulated the above as questions, but I plan to do this soon (before the freeze) if nobody objects. Or has a better idea, ofcourse!
