Maintaining 8000 Packages - Large Scale Package QA in the PostgreSQL Ecosystem

While the Debian archive only contains a single PostgreSQL version per
distribution, upstreams supports five concurrent branches plus the devel/beta
versions. The apt.postgresql.org repository extends the Debian packaging of the
PostgreSQL server packages to cover the full cross product of all branches
times seven Debian and Ubuntu releases times currently two architectures. On
top of that, various PostgreSQL extension packages are built.

This talk is about the lessons learned while maintaining this package set and
how automated testing helps to ensure high quality.

Ingredients are pg_regress, jenkins, autopkgtest, dpkg and reprepro tweaks, and
automation tools from postgresql-common.
