Hi Pavel, When we had 3 unmaintained squid ports, the idea was the get down to one, www/squid. The only reason www/squid33 is still in ports is because you requested an extension on it's removal due to the FreeBSD 10.1 RC issues. I personally don't want to see that contraction reversed. Upstream immediately EOL's the previous version, so we should too. when squid 3.5 is ready, it should go to www/squid. As far as we know, this is the intent of upstream The last thing I want to do is create new unmaintained ports (which is not even allowed anyway, all new ports must have a legit maintainer) So I would say, do extensive testing on 3.5 and verify it replaces 3.4 without issues, then we'll do that. It's still amazing to me how many people use squid yet nobody wants to maintain it. John
