1. pg_tde in PostgreSQL 18.3

   Matthias Apitz <guru@unixarea.de> — 2026-04-15T09:03:24Z

   Hello,
   
   We compiled pg_tde (transparent data encryption) into PostgreSQL 16.5
   the "normal" way:
   
   - git clone pg_tde to the following place
   
     cd postgresql-16.5/contrib
     git clone https://github.com/percona/pg_tde.git
   
   - configure and make it:
   
     cd postgresql-16.5/contrib/pg_tde
     ./configure --prefix= .....
     gmake
     sudo gmake install
   
   It seems this path for 18.3 does not exist anymore, the is
   no ./configure in pg_tde:
   
     cd postgresql-18.3/contrib/pg_tde> ls
     CONTRIBUTING.md  code-of-conduct.md  pg_tde--1.0--2.0.sql  src
     COPYRIGHT        documentation       pg_tde--1.0.sql       t
     Makefile         expected            pg_tde--2.0--2.1.sql  testwrap
     README.md        fetools             pg_tde.control        tools
     SECURITY.md      meson.build         pykmip-server.conf
     ci_scripts       meson_options.txt   sql
   
   I've asked this question already in Percona Community Forum
   https://forums.percona.com/t/compiling-pg-tde-into-postgresql-18-3-from-source/40626
   With no reaction.
   
   Any comments?

   I, Matthias, I am not at war with Russia.
   Я не воюю с Россией.
   Ich bin nicht im Krieg mit Russland.

   Just guessing, but this looks like they switched to handling
   meson builds only [1].

   Uh, I see them requiring an open source fork of Postgres:
   
   	https://github.com/percona/pg_tde
   	Works only with Percona Server for PostgreSQL 17 or Percona
   	Server for PostgreSQL 18
   
   and
   	https://docs.percona.com/postgresql/18/postgresql-server.html
   	Percona Server for PostgreSQL is a binary-compatible, open source
   	drop-in replacement for PostgreSQL 18. It functions identically
   	to upstream PostgreSQL, allowing you to migrate seamlessly between
   	the two.
