pg_tde in PostgreSQL 18.3
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?

Just guessing, but this looks like they switched to handling
meson builds only [1]https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/install-meson.html.

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.
