Thanks Adolf! - in fact, I never used 'git format-patch' before, will take a look at it. > https://git-scm.com/docs/git-format-patch#Documentation/git-format-patch.txt---cover-letter > > I have to say it is a long time now since I did this so you might have to try > it a few times to get the patch series you want before running the git > send-email command. We'll see. I'm curious what will come out <G>. I just began reading the 'format-patch'-manual. DOH! How on earth did he program this!? ;-) BTW: Compiling, building and installing 'squid 7.5' on Core 201 was no problem - its now running '--without-kettle' without any seen problems or errors. Base was the lfs I sent yesterday. Next plan is to edit 'proxy.cgi' and to remove the unneeded parts of the code bit by bit. I'll keep the list informed... ;-) Best Matthias
