yeah, and likely to get busier from now on :-(
Good news, though, is that i finally released squid. version 1.0.beta16
Came up with a reasonable scheme for avoiding having to hack the source
Makefile.in files too much - I added stuff to debian.rules to call
'Configure' with appropriate arguments, created a debian squid.conf to
set the log file paths (which couldn't be set in the source without
major hacking - I wanted to keep my diffs as small as possible) and
also copied the install rule from src/Makefile and edited it to use
./debian-tmp. Should be fairly easy to maintain now.
For the next release I'll do some stuff in postinst to ask whether
cachemgr.cgi should be installed in the cgi-bin directory. I'll
probably just make a sym link from /var/web/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi to
/usr/lib/squid/cachemgr.cgi, so later upgrades of cachemgr.cgi should be
transparent. Currently it is up to the sysadmin to read the docs and
install it in cgi-bin manually...

BTW, thanks for those diffs you sent me a few weeks ago - i used them to
learn how to do {pre,post} scripts and how to properly do an update-rc
(it's nearly always easier to look at a sample than it is to figure it
out from the docs).

Uploaded to master last night.
Been running it here for over a day now...seems as stable as beta7 which
I had been running for over a month.
