Re: [squid-users] compiling squid on dev machine, then moving to productionmachine

Your suggestion does not always suit production needs.
For instance, there are good security reasons not to have
compilers/perl etc on production boxes.
I understand the need for same os'es and accept that this is necessary
for the binary that is moved top work properly.

The os'es, architecure are and will be the same.

I also intend to build multiple squids. i dont want to build multiple
dev boxes then harden them prior to going into production.

Anyone else done this ?

 Depends , many issues are at stake here :

 Normally this can only work, if the production machines
 has the same architecture/os/version then the development machine.
 Or for 'normal os-es' if the architecture/os/version is of the
 production machine is 'higher' then that of the development box.

 If not : then care must be taken of issues such as :

  - binary compatibility
  - shared lib issues, if os-level of production machine is lower
 then development box, problems are likely to occur which the exe
loader
 of the os will almost immediately give an error for , if it is a good
one.

 To avoid these and since SQUID is not that difficult to
configure-compile,
 you may want to take the safe road.
 Do it all the way on the intended SQUID box.
