See the mailing list archives, March 17-21. No one came up to "defend"
the way Squid used to install so it seemed obvious that no one really
cares. I had hoped for some sort of discussion about the way we handle
hier(7) conformity in ports -- but nope. Sorry folks.

Personally, I am perfectly fine with a Squid cache under PREFIX but
there are very verbose people who told me on this very list that I
am basically the antichrist or at least a moron for having Squid
put its data and log files (and the pid file!) under PREFIX, knowingly
violating hier(7).  Since Squid 2.7/3.0 cannot separate cache and
log dir (they are subdirectories of the "localstatedir") I could
not intelligently separate logs from caches without major hackery.
So everything was moved to /var. Squid 3.1 is a bit more hier(7)
conformant in this regard but the cache will still be suggested to
be in /var/squid/cache.

Existing installations will continue to use the configured caches
under PREFIX/squid or wherever you had put them. And you are free
to put the cache directories wherever it best suits you when you
design a new installation. /var/squid/cache is just a suggestion
in squid.conf.default or squid.conf.annotated, nothing more.

The UPDATING entry is not meant to be all inclusive and it is
possible that I overlooked entries -- but you definitely need to
watch where your access.log and cache.log end up so you do not
inadvertently fill up your /var partition.
