squid3 package

how do you find out how a package was configured or compiled

Asked by DigiAngel

I won't to recompile squid with ssl. I would rather..."highjack" the existing package instead, so I just want to recompile from source exactly the same way, but with ssl. What's the configure line that was used?

Ah...yes...this gives me the general overview, but how, specifically, is squid configured? What ./configure options were given? Thank you.

Checkout the package from the source repository. The exact build scripts are in the debian/rules file.

You can grab a copy for your system with

apt-get source NAMEOFPACKAGE

note that you must have a source repository enabled (use software-sources, or modify your sources.list to do this)
