I have pushed Release 17 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm client.

Release 17 has two main features:

  * Modernize the way we do cross-version upgrade tests. Most of the
    logic for modifying instances to make them suitable for cross
    version upgrade testing has now been migrated to the Postgres core
    code in |src/test/perl/PostgreSQL/Test/AdjustUpgrade.pm|. The new
    code simply imports this module and leverages its knowledge.
  * Support of building with |meson|. This is only supported on version
    16 or later of Postgres, older branches will continue to use the
    older toolsets. To enable building with |meson|, there are several
    new settings, illustrated in the sample configuration file:
      o |using_meson| this must be set to a true value
      o |meson_jobs| this controls the degree of parallelism that
        |meson| will use
      o |meson_test_timeout| this is used to multiply the meson test
        timeout. The default is 3, 0 turns off timeout
      o |meson_config| This is an array of settings for passing to
        |meson setup|. Note that all options need to be explicitly given
        here - the client disables all |auto| options. This includes use
        of |zlib| and |readline|, which do not default to on, unlike
        |autoconf| setups.

There are also a number of relatively small bug fixes and tweaks (e.g. 
some improvements in processing typedefs).

The release is available at 
<https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code/releases> or 
<https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/downloads/latest-client.tgz>

Enjoy!


cheers
