I have released version 4.12 of the buildfarm client.
In addition to numerous bug fixes, it has the following:
* the global option branches_to_build can now be "HEADPLUSLATESTn' for any single digit n * there is a new module
TestCollateLinuxUTF8* there is a new module TestDecoding which is enabled by default, (but does nothing on MSVC
systems,where we can't yet run these tests.) This runs the new contrib test_decoding module, which can't run under
"makeinstallcheck". * running "perl -cw" on the scripts will now give you failures for missing perl modules on almost
everyplatform. The only exception should now be on older Msys systems. * improvements in the sample config file to
makeit better organized and better reflecting of best practice. * find_typdefs is now supported on OSX
In addition I recently enhanced the HOWTO at
<http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Buildfarm_Howto#Using_run_branches.pl>
covering especially best current git practice.
Thanks to Tom Lane for suggestions and complaints which are behind a
number of the improvements and fixes, and for some code for OSX
find_typedefs.
The release is available at
