An opportunity to meet the members of the Debian Technical Committee who are in attendance at DebConf, hear the status of open issues, and discuss pending and future issues.

Other people: Gunnar Wolf Matthew Vernon Helmut Grohne Sean Whitton Elana Hashman Niko Tyni

Like every year, during DebConf21 the Debian Technical Committee wishes to share with you what we are up to. First of all, of course, we will go over the issues that have been brought to us. But, following up from last year's presentation, we will continue presenting our ideas in how to reshape or reimagine the Technical Committee in a way it works better and is more useful for the project.

The apt.postgresql.org repository hosts PostgreSQL server packages for seven major releases: all the stable branches plus beta and the devel versions. Targetting two architectures and seven Debian and Ubuntu releases, this is almost 100 combinations in the cross product. On top of that, we build binary packages for various PostgreSQL extensions and applications. Of course no one is able to test thousands of packages manually.

We are putting much effort into running regression tests on all extensions using pg_regress, and creating system integration tests to be run with the autopkgtest tool. All tests are integrated with our Jenkins build server.

This talk presents recent advances made in the area and includes examples of bugs found.

We present the tools and workflows used behind the scenes of apt.postgresql.org, the new Apt repository of PostgreSQL packages for Debian and Ubuntu.

Users will learn about the repository and how to use it on their systems. We give a quick introduction to building Debian packages for PostgreSQL modules. Interested developers will learn how to add their packages to apt.postgresql.org and have them built for these distributions.
