I installed Fedora Core 4 and then I installed squid 2.5rc12. The path for the squid.conf is /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf but I noticed that the squid that came with FC is under /etc/squid/squid.conf. How can I overwrite the squid that came with FC? Even I installed webmin and the defaults seems to point to the squid that FC came with. I know that I can change the paths but I would like to do it in the proper way..
The best way to keep everything compatible is to rebuild the RPM based on the new Squid version. Just grab the latest Fedora development SRPM, install it then edit /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/squid.spec to suit your needs and finally rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/squid.spec to build the new RPM.
Note: It is adviceable to use a release number of 0.something for homebrewed temporary upgrades. This way you won't collide too much with a later official upgrade.
