My own criteria: be able to deploy Squid3 with ESI as a reverse
accelarator under real load without it falling over (I don't run Squid
as a forward-cache at all).
Can somebody point to a current "how to help with Squid3 development"
document? E.g., I don't even know how to get a current checkout any
longer (arch / bzr / cvs, whatever).
You can get daily tarball snapshots from
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/
If you would rather, you can also use CVS
# export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/squid
# cvs login (anoncvs/anoncvs)
# cvs checkout squid3
See also http://dokuwiki.squid-cache.org/dev/cvsinstructions
If you utilize CVS then you have to run 'bootstrap.sh' from the
top directory to create all the Makefile.in's. This gets a little
yucky because numerous and certain autotools packages are necessary.
Also you may have to run bootstrap.sh from time to time as you
develop, ie if you have a yet-uncommitted Makefile.am change.
