HUAWEI Cloud Services donated a arm64 build host with enough resources to build the arm64 packages at the same speed as the existing amd64, i386, and ppc64el architectures. We are targeting Debian buster (stable), bullseye (testing), and sid (unstable), and Ubuntu bionic (18.04) and focal (20.04). To use the arm64 archive, just add the normal sources.list entry: deb https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt buster-pgdg main # Ubuntu focal At the same time, I've added the next Ubuntu LTS release to apt.postgresql.org: focal (20.04). It ships amd64, arm64, and ppc64el binaries. deb https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt focal-pgdg main # Old PostgreSQL versions Many PostgreSQL extensions are still supporting older server versions that are EOL. For testing these extension, server packages need to be available. I've built packages for PostgreSQL 9.2+ on all Debian distributions, and all Ubuntu LTS distributions. 9.1 will follow shortly. This means people can move to newer base distributions in their .travis.yml, .gitlab-ci.yml, and other CI files. Christoph ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 7+ messages in thread

Thank you so much for this! How far down are you planning to go? pgBackRest currently supports PostgreSQL >= 8.3, though were are considering dropping 8.3/8.4 support soon. Maybe it's time to let 9.0 go as well, but would be good to know if you plan to add it. Currently the distro versions (Debian and RHEL) we are using to test 8.3-9.0 are all EOL, which is obviously not ideal, though we have not had any issues building (yet).

For Debian/sid, there are already packages all the way back until 8.2, so it will probably not be hard to extend the coverage to these. It will need a bit more work because the packages were only made for sid, and possibly need some readjustments for the other distributions. The problem with 9.0 is that it doesn't support arm64, but I can exclude the architecture from that package. > Currently the distro versions (Debian and RHEL) we are using to test 8.3-9.0 > are all EOL, which is obviously not ideal, though we have not had any issues > building (yet). I guess I should put a version matrix into the wiki page with the version coverage.

If 9.0 turns out to be a real problem don't worry about it. We can still do 9.0 testing on Ubuntu 14.04 which will hopefully be around for a while even though it is EOL. I just rebuilt the 12.04 test container today and that worked fine. We'll probably keep testing on 12.04 until it stops working because old OS versions provide extra coverage. We've done some manual testing on arm64 and plan to add it to our CI matrix but we're not worried about 9.0 support on that platform. >> Currently the distro versions (Debian and RHEL) we are using to test 8.3-9.0 >> are all EOL, which is obviously not ideal, though we have not had any issues >> building (yet). > > I guess I should put a version matrix into the wiki page with the > version coverage. That would probably be helpful. We figured it out by trial and error (and peeking in the repo). Regards, -- -David [email protected] ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 7+ messages in thread

Now I can test across all the versions we support on my default developement system. That's very helpful.
