As I have mentioned multiple times ... there is a reason we have Jenkins 
building the tarballs.


Please run the following commands:

wget 
https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/archive/refs/tags/SQUID_6_3.tar.gz &&
	tar -xvf SQUID_6_3.tar.gz &&
	./configure &&
	make check

FWIW, one of those goals that we appear not to share is freedom of 
information ... specifically to have Squid code available to everyone. 
There exist countries in this world who forbid access to USA hosted 
content. Having squid-cache.org mirrored keeps us largely out of the 
political arean.
