Squid is gone in Openwrt 23

Feature Requests

I just upgraded Openwrt from 22 to 23.
As it seems, squid is gone for 23.05.2. Is there a plan to revive it?

Thanks for your quick response.

On which platform did you do that? I probably should have mentioned, that this is a Linksys EA8500.

Did you run a 'opkg update'?

Yes, immediately after the installation (the image was already 3 months old) and again just this morning.
(Considering squid is available for mips, this is probably more a regression than a feature request.)

It's something else. After running 'opkg update', squid is gone for me too. Google can't lead me to a build error log.

I searched the web first (of course) and was astonished not to find this mentioned anywhere.
There is a recend CVE for squid versions older than 6.5, BTW.
Maybe that is why it was retracted.

8

Maybe. Although a denial of service is inconvenient, but not a big issue, IMHO.

5 days ago squid is bumped to 6.7:

Maybe there is a build issue with that?

Just for the records: this was obviously a temporary glitch, Squid is back.
