Thread: PG16 test packages?
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! -David

Hi David, PG16 packages have already been around for some months, but they are in a separate archive area: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt/FAQ#Development_snapshots Christoph

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. Christoph
