epoch?? how to make squid-1.0.5 squid-1.0beta16
I compiled squid 1.0.5 last night and made a new package for it, but when i installed it with dpkg on my system i got a warning message about downgrading to earlier version due to --force. which means that dselect can't be used to upgrade this package because it won't do the forced downgrade. I don't want to upload the new package until this is fixed. I seem to recall some discussion a few months back about an Epoch header or something like that which could be used to get around this problem. Was epoch implemented? How do I use it? (note for those waiting on a new version of squid: i probably wont get time to finish this off now until the end of the week.) Craig
