Announcing Release 20 of the PostgreSQL Build farm Client

Andrew Dunstan <andrew@dunslane.net> — 2025-11-25T13:59:49Z

Features:

  * New |branches_to_build| keyword |UP_TO_| to allow building only
    certain older branches. e.g. |UP_TO_REL_16_STABLE|
  * Collect |pg_config.h| for meson builds
  * Handle new |--restrict-key| requirement for dump testing
  * Trim collection of log files
    Some files were collected multiple times, and some large log files
    were collected even when of little value, as the test succeeded.
    Reducing this will alleviate disk space pressure on the server.
  * Minor bug fixes.

Because of the reduced log collection, buildfarm owners are highly 
encouraged to  upgrade to the latest release.

The release can be downloaded from 
<https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code/releases> or 
<https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/downloads/latest-client.tgz>


cheers
