SquidGuard Update In EPEL
Hi,
The SquidGuard URL redirector has recently been updated in EPEL, and I’m a bit puzzled. I’m still using SquidGuard on a few local proxy servers running CentOS 7, because it’s a nifty piece of software for filtering web traffic.
The project’s home page has remained unchanged for more than ten years:
* http://www.squidguard.org/
It looks like the project has been dormant or dead for quite some time. I’ve been looking for a replacement for SquidGuard, but haven’t been lucky yet.
Anyone else has more information on SquidGuard, or suggestions for a replacement?
Cheers,
Niki

Is there a problem with the version which is in EPEL?

No, there isn’t.
I was just puzzled that there was an update to an application that’s been manifestly dormant for more than ten years.

looks like it was updated due to a segfault. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1750550

Now I’m even more puzzled.
Fedora and EPEL sport SquidGuard 1.4.36.
Now when you search for “squidguard”, this seems to be the project site:
* http://squidguard.org/index.html
This page hasn’t been updated in ages and sports the “NEW” version 1.3.
So apparently the project has been developed somewhere under the radar.

says thats the official site…
debian has squidguard 1.5-5
https://packages.debian.org/source/stretch/squidguard
whoa, I even found a reference to a 1.5 source tar..gz on the squidguard site, but its 404, the same directory only has 1.2 and 1.3. I wonder if they got knocked offline and had to restore an archive or something. seems to be a mess.

And this all begs the question: who’s flying this plane? According to the official website, SquidGuard is dead in the water. Apparently there’s still some mysterious maintainer around. Which would be nice, because I’ve been using SquidGuard regularly for the last ten years or so, it’s a great piece of software.

so where is that coming from ?
here’s debian changelog on that package, https://sources.debian.org/src/squidguard/1.6.0-1/CHANGELOG/
Here is the googling I found https://salsa.debian.org/joowie-guest/maintain_squidguard and https://www.joonet.de/sources/squidguard/
