Hi,
Hello Perry!
My interest is AIX. I recently sent a note to the general list and
was
prompted to at least CC to this list. I plan to use squid in a
pretty low
usage place to get around a firewall issue I have. But I also
maintain
http://aix-consulting.net which is a site where I put precompiled
executables of open source packages. I plan to put versions of
squid 2.7
and 3.0 on that site.
Fantastic :)
I think Amos already asked that, but are you willing to take part of
our continuous integratoin platform? See the BuildFarm wiki page and
http://build.squid-cache.org/
I would like to. I currently have a lot of obstacles. I currently
don't have an AIX machine that can be directly reached from the net.
They are all behind firewalls of one sort or another.
The best I could do right now would give a sign on to my server and
then you could telnet / whatever to the AIX machine.
I might be able to talk a friend into putting one of my AIX machines
on his net but I haven't mentioned it to him yet.
I will likely debug my current issues with the help of this list
and then
drop off but you are always welcome to contact me for AIX questions
(or
point people in my direction).
Thanks! Any help is appreciated.
As an update for my progress: I got 2.7 compiled and working. It
exposed a bug in AIX which left a ./conftest program running after the
end of the configure script. It was the test that checks for large
unix domain datagram packets. It should have died. Its not a bad
test. But AIX does not comes out of the select when the parent dies.
I have not gotten back to the 3.0 mystery but I hope to. This project
is a side line off the side road of the side business. So it doesn't
get much time.
Take care,
Perry
