Hello,

I can run single build for a given OS version. Raspberry Pi does not have very powerful CPU. I am using stretch as my main OS now. I need to change SDCard (Raspberry Pi runs on an SDCard or USB) in order to boot for another OS version like jessie. But, if it is possible to build for jessie when running in stretch, I can try to do that.

I will need some help as I did not build PostgreSQL (any version) from sources before. I have some knowledge about building applications from source code. Just no experience with PostgreSQL.

Should I use SVN or similar to get sources for PostgreSQL 10? Some readme link would be fine for me to try building postgresql-10 from .dsc and get timing for it.

I am developing some commercial applications on Raspberry Pi. I also use Raspberry Pi for testing my new code and then I deploy it to production including database. I very much wanted to use PostgreSQL 10 in my latest work, but even stretch version support only 9.6.x as binary install from apt at the moment. I did not try to work on source build just because I do not feel comfortable about it.

I have armhf platform and no arm64 available. After I see that postgresql latest versions are available (not from debian domain, but from postgresql domain) I wanted to have it available for myself and help others who need it as I do.
