Re: postgres-10 with FIPS

Hi Magnus,

The paid version I had mentioned about was the paid OS (ubuntu) for FIPS
compliancy. I understand that postgres as is completely available for
open-source.

Since we can't get the paid version of the OS to support FIPS compliancy
the idea was to build postgres against FIPS compliant SSL/crypto of 1.0.2g
and get it to work on ubuntu 20.04 for which I was interested in the
configure option.

Thanks and Regards
Aravindhan K
