Announcing Release 18 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm client

I have pushed  Release 18 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm client

In addition to numerous minor tweaks and bug fixes, the following changes are made:

  • many improvements in the collection of log files
  • accommodate change in data checksum default in cross version upgrade testing
  • increase default PGCTLTIMEOUT to 180s
  • improve "safe" environment set, including all in the build_env configuration settings
  • on script timeout, don't just fail but send the result to the server (Note: the timeout mechanism doesn't work on Windows, and has been disabled there)
  • set the default timeout to 4 hours.
  • remove redundant TestDecoding module
  • add a module for running "make dist"
  • improve detection of failures when running with meson
  • add README files to the set ignored by the sample trigger_exclude setting.
     

The release can be downloaded from

Upgrading is highly recommended.
