Default Squid - Compile from Source or RPM
What is better?
Compiling squid from source or installing RPM?
What if I build RPM from source?

Actually, I want to optimize squid performance. The only way I find to do that is install from source.
Is there a way to create RPM after ./configure or the make process?

rpm can be built using rpmbuild command. Download squid source rpm and install the same. Next, go to SPECS directory:
Code:
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
ls
Open squid.spec file and update ./configure options. Save the file. And build rpm as:
Code:
rpmbuild -bb squid.spec
You will find new rpms @ /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/ directory.

NOTE: Source rpm can be downloaded using the following syntax:

Code:
yumdownloader --source squid
rpm -ivh squid*.src.rpm

I tried what u suggested and this is the output:
Code:
[root@cybertron yum.repos.d]# yumdownloader --source squid
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * rpmforge: apt.sw.be
 * base: mirror.internode.on.net
 * updates: ftp.twaren.net
 * centosplus: mirror.internode.on.net
 * addons: mirror.internode.on.net
 * extras: mirror.internode.on.net
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linu...ata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] 550 Failed to change directory.
Trying other mirror.
Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rhel-src. Please verify its path and try again
I also reffered this page:
This is my uname -r output:
Code:
[root@cybertron yum.repos.d]# uname -r
2.6.18-92.el5
and I am using CentOS 5.2

Is there any other src repository? A 3rd patry src repo that I can add to that srpm.repo file?

OK this is what I did right now:
1. Removed srpm.repo
2. Downloaded CentOS-Source.repo
3. Modified it set priorities:
Code:
[c5-base-src]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base Source Repository
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/SRPMS/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
enabled=1
priority=1

[c5-updates-src]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates Source Repository
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/SRPMS/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
enabled=1
priority=1
[c5-extras-src]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/extras/SRPMS/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
protect=1
enabled=1
priority=1

[c5-plus-src]
name=CentOSplus -$releasever Source Repository
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/SRPMS/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
enabled=0
Now everything works. This is the output:
Code:
[root@cybertron yum.repos.d]# yumdownloader --source squid
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * extras: mirror.internode.on.net
 * rpmforge: apt.sw.be

Now, install downloaded squid*.src.rpm and go to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ and update squid.spec file and run command as mentioned in my 2nd post.

Should I try yum install mockbuild?

EDIT: Searched on the internet it is just a warning.

I got 2 errors:
Code:
Processing files: squid-2.6.STABLE21-3
error: File not found: /var/tmp/squid-2.6.STABLE21-root/usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth
error: File not found: /var/tmp/squid-2.6.STABLE21-root/usr/lib/squid/pam_auth

error: File not found: /var/tmp/squid-2.6.STABLE21-root/etc/squid/msntauth.conf.default
and

Code:
RPM build errors:
    File not found: /var/tmp/squid-2.6.STABLE21-root/usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth
    File not found: /var/tmp/squid-2.6.STABLE21-root/usr/lib/squid/pam_auth

    File not found: /var/tmp/squid-2.6.STABLE21-root/etc/squid/msntauth.conf.default
These are the configure options in the squid.spec file:

Code:
%configure \
   --exec_prefix=/usr \
   --bindir=%{_sbindir} \
   --libexecdir=%{_libdir}/squid \
   --localstatedir=/var \
   --datadir=%{_datadir} \
   --sysconfdir=/etc/squid \
   --enable-poll \
   --enable-snmp \
   --enable-linux-netfilter \
   --disable-ident-lookups \
   --enable-async-io \
   --enable-icmp \
   --enable-arp-acl \
   %ifnarch ppc64 ia64 x86_64 s390x
   --with-large-files \
   %endif
   --with-maxfd=16384 \
I removed the auth entries in the configure section. What can then be wrong?

Those are just warning as user:group combo does not exists. Just ignore them.

You should not remove auth_helper (look like they are tightly integrated with squid). They are part of squid. Just add / modify your optimization compile time flags.
