authentication methods sections
Hackorum builds and tests every patch posted to the lists, not only commitfest submissions. This is Hackorum's own CI rather than the PostgreSQL project's, and it is still under testing - please report anything that looks wrong.
You can run a PostgreSQL built from this patch straight from Docker, with no checkout and no build:
docker run --rm -p 5432:5432 ghcr.io/hackorum-dev/postgres-patch:t76211psql -h localhost -U postgresBuilt from patchset v1 (message #1), July 27, 2026 at 08:40 PM.
Every patchset is also pushed to a branch of our PostgreSQL fork, so you can check out the same tree CI built. Without a PostgreSQL checkout:
git clone --branch t76211_1 https://github.com/hackorum-dev/postgres.gitIn a checkout you already have, add the fork once:
git remote add hackorum https://github.com/hackorum-dev/postgres.gitthen, for this patchset and every later one:
git fetch hackorum t76211_1 && git checkout t76211_1Patchset v1 (message #1) is on t76211_1
I find that the section authentication methods
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/auth-methods.html> is
becoming harder to read and navigate, because we keep adding
authentication methods and more information about them, and it's all on
one HTML page. I propose to move those sections up one level in the
hierarchy so they end up on separate HTML pages.

+1, that definitely seems like a good idea.

Sorry for coming late here, but the patch which has been committed,
56811e57, results in a section which is completely empty:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/auth-methods.html
And all the authentication methods get listed here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/client-authentication.html
So I find the result even more confusing than the original. Wouldn't it
be more simple to just remove "Authentication Methods" if the current
layer is kept?
