I've been working on a couple of helpers for our internal use. So far, I've
been trying to mirror the [build] structure of the shipped helpers, and this
works fine, if I copy them into the squid sources and patch the Makefile.am/in.
But, I was wondering if there is a method someone else has used to build
helpers for squid without having to co-locate the source. I want to be able to
easily track updates to squid from the core distribution, so I don't want to
co-locate our internal helpers. I can copy them into the tree and patch, as
noted, but I wondered if someone else had come up with a better way.
Hi Chris,
my first thought is, what benefit do these helpers have from being
built in the squid sources? After all helpers are just external
programs, as long as they respect the (stdin/out) squid APIs, they
will just work(tm). In other words, I can see no real advantage from
building them together with squid.

unless they rely on squid code? maybe?
Never tried that one.
