AFAIK Ubuntu is a mix of Debian Testing, Unstable and Experimental with
a few added non Debian packages.
On Debian you can do something similar by installing testing during
freeze and then create a few backports from unstable and experimental.
Debian Stable / Lenny provides Squid 2.7 and 3.0 (section web).
If you want 3.1 you have to compile it yourself;
Install gcc and libldap2-dev, libpam0g-dev, libdb-dev, sharutils, dpatch
(>= 2.0.9), cdbs, libsasl2-dev, debhelper (>=5), libcppunit-dev.
NP:
- sharutils no longer needed at all for 3.1+
- libcppunit-dev not required for a simple build, only for a full
test+build if you need to be extra certain nothings broken (Debian
package build does like to be sure).
And download the source of course;
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.1/
The file
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/squid3/squid3_3.0.STABLE8.orig.tar.gz
lists the differences between the Debian and the original version of
Squid 3.0. It's mainly added copyright notices and a change in the
install procedure. I didn't apply the patch (which is for 3.0), but used
configure options instead. I could' get all the configure options to
work though.
Nor did I succeed in telling it not to install libexec in
/usr/local/squid/libexec/
It also links libdl instead of librt. I don't know why.
It does work though.
