Hi Buildfarm owners,
It's been noted on the -hackers mailing list than most buildfarm animals are not performing SSL tests even if they are building with SSL. That's a sad gap in our test coverage.
The sample configuration file has this in the build_env section
# run extra TAP tests if listed here # These are the ones omitted without the setting # on a secure single user system it makes sense to enable these # PG_TEST_EXTRA => "ssl ldap kerberos",
In general, unless your animal is running on a multi-user system, enabling these tests should be safe, which you could do by uncommenting the last line above or inserting it into your config file if not present.
Please consider doing so for your animal(s), as we'd like to get increased coverage of all these tests, but especially of the SSL tests.
cheers
andrew
