[Stanislav German-Evtushenko]

Prerequisites:

Problem:

Solution:
- swap creation process should not be daemonized, the patch is attached

The attachment "etc-init-squid3.conf.patch" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Since we're on systemd now, this presumably only affects Trusty and maybe Precise, so marking Fix Released in the development release and leaving a Trusty task open instead.

Thanks Stanislav for the patch! Looks good, I've uploaded to trusty-proposed. Just need to wait for SRU process now.

Hello Stanislav, or anyone else affected,

Accepted squid3 into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squid3/3.3.8-1ubuntu6.7 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Could someone please test the package in trusty-proposed? I am preparing security updates for squid3 and if it's not tested, it will get superseded. Thanks!

Hi,

I'm sorry for not being here for a long time.

I've checked the link and it seems that deb-files for 3.3.8-1ubuntu6.7 have been already deleted. Can anybody create a new build?

Stanislav
