Обсуждение: 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].

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.
