PG16 test packages?

From

Is there an expected date when test packages for PG16 will be available?

We are working on PG16 support for the May release of pgBackRest and 
would prefer to use test packages (if they are available) rather than 
build from source.

Thanks!

Hi David,

PG16 packages have already been around for some months, but they are
in a separate archive area:

Ah, thanks! Looks like that works.

I was using my code from last year updated for PG16: 

https://github.com/pgbackrest/pgbackrest/commit/20782c88bc8d0842d547bd5f4fecdb292e69d1f7#diff-8b97341571bc2625c64507d8d298aaa5dca8ceeb20754c7f164906e6ba44999dR508

 > deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ $(lsb_release -s 
-c)-pgdg-testing main 16

Seems like -testing was available about this time last year since we 
committed PG15 support on May 4. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
-David

Until some time last year, postgresql-devel was a special build job in
our Jenkins for building snapshots. Now all packages have grown that
ability, and the binaries from that are in the *-pgdg-snapshot suites.
