I have pushed Release 18 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm client

In addition to numerous minor tweaks and bug fixes, the following changes
are made:

- many improvements in the collection of log files
- accommodate change in data checksum default in cross version upgrade
testing
- increase default PGCTLTIMEOUT to 180s
- improve "safe" environment set, including all in the build_env
configuration settings
- on script timeout, don't just fail but send the result to the server
(Note: the timeout mechanism doesn't work on Windows, and has been disabled
there)
- set the default timeout to 4 hours.
- remove redundant TestDecoding module
- add a module for running "make dist"
- improve detection of failures when running with meson
- add README files to the set ignored by the sample trigger_exclude
setting.

The release can be downloaded from

https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code/releases/tag/REL_18
<https://www.blogger.com/#&gt; or

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/downloads <https://www.blogger.com/#&gt;

Upgrading is highly recommended.

cheers

I have pushed  Release 18 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm client

In addition to numerous minor tweaks and bug fixes, the following changes are made:

* many improvements in the collection of log files
* accommodate change in data checksum default in cross version upgrade testing
* increase default PGCTLTIMEOUT to 180s
* improve "safe" environment set, including all in the build_env configuration settings
* on script timeout, don't just fail but send the result to the server (Note: the timeout mechanism doesn't work on
Windows, and has been disabled there)
* set the default timeout to 4 hours.

It looks like this timeout should be increased at least on avocet (which
tests CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS).

Just after upgrading, it failed on REL_13_STABLE, REL_12_STABLE (I think
other branches to follow) with timeouts:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=avocet&amp;dt=2024-11-22%2016%3A11%3A23
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=avocet&amp;dt=2024-11-22%2020%3A11%3A49

(On previous runs, this animal used buildfarm client REL_16.)

Best regards,
Alexander

Now that wait_timeout changed from undefined to 0 in $Script_Config,
tests are going green on avocet.

Thank you!
