Building and testing

This repository is the fork of the official postgres repository with some additions. Build and test instructions are the same.

However, this repository has some additional dependencies:

• libKMIP, which is included as a git submodule. Use git clone --recursive for checkout, or execute git submodule --update --init after cloning and selecting the brach
• libcurl, which has to be installed on the system

Some tests require a running HashiCorp Vault (or compatible) server, and a KMIP server, such as the server included in the PyKMIP library. The settings for the servers are configured with environment variables.

Simplified build and test scripts

The ci_scripts folder contains several bash scripts intended for building and testing the server.

These scripts include:

• ubuntu-deps.sh which installs required packages on Ubuntu 22.04
• make-build.sh and meson-build.sh which build everything either with make or meson
• setup-keyring-servers.sh which starts up a development Vault server instance and a PyKMIP dummy server
• make-test.sh and meson-test.sh which execute the world regression suite
• make-test-tde.sh which executes the entire world suite with the encryption turned on
