I have released version 21 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm Client New features - *PatchStack module* — a new module for non-standard buildfarms that want to test a stack of patches on top of a branch. Note: this module is not for use with the regular community Buildfarm server - its use for builds reported there will be detected and rejected. - *ABI check module* — a new module that runs abidw to detect ABI changes in installed headers (passes --headers-dir and --drop-private-types for compatibility across abidw versions). Original author: Mankirat Singh, with additions from Tom Lane. - *branches_target config key* — run_branches.pl can now use a dedicated target URL for fetching branches_of_interest.json instead of deriving it by regex-mangling the main target URL. Falls back to the old derivation when unset; the pgbuildfarm URL migration is applied to it as well.
Build system / meson - using_meson is now decided by the presence of meson.build rather than by branch name, so it works reliably with non-standard branch names. - Use the meson --buildtype option. Non-standard / regex-matched branches - Skip the bf_ prefix when using regex-matched branches. - Fetch remote branches for regex checking in a saner way. - Handle cases where there is no usable symbolic HEAD (and suppress the resulting clone warnings). - Handle a missing remote HEAD when updating a mirror. Cross-version upgrade - Compress pg_upgrade dump files - Stop testing upgrades from pre-v10 in v20 and higher. - Several pg_upgrade_output.d fixes, including relative-path logic and an output-collection bug. Protocol - Adjust to upstream libpq protocol-version changes, and remove the PGMAXPROTOCOLVERSION setting earlier (per -hackers discussion). Diagnostics & logging - Archive failing log stages, and collect an additional log file. - Improve run-time reporting when a command times out, and avoid exiting the timeout sleep early on a signal. - Move testrun directories aside rather than deleting them, to aid later diagnosis. Bug fixes - Defer module checkout until after find_changed, so PatchStack commits do not make find_changed always report a build is needed. - Fix TAP-test duplication in configure/make builds (notably pg_plan_advice rerunning the whole regression suite), plus a scalar(glob()) Perl bug. - Disable git system settings when looking for changed files. - Fix finding the config file in the current directory in the auxiliary scripts. - Use proxy settings, if any, in run_branches.pl. - Skip the test_escape test on MSVC with old toolsets (non-meson, pre-16/17 only). Housekeeping - Clean up old tmpdir objects and stale port-lock (.rsv) files. - Avoid moving the .git directory when possible. - Set $devnull in a principled way. - Adjust for the unified Redis-FDW branches.
