Re: Adding NetBSD and OpenBSD to Postgres CI

Hi,

I finally pushed this. The meson fix backpatched to 16.

I did some very minor polishing, reordering the OS lists to stay alphabetical,
instead of adding netbsd/openbsd somewhere to the front of lists.

Thanks for the patches!

Obviously not your fault, but I do think it's pretty crazy that with the same
available resources, netbsd and openbsd take considerably longer than linux
and freebsd, which both do a lot more (linux tests 32 and 64 bit with ubsan
with autoconf and asan with meson, freebsd tests a bunch of debugging
options). I wonder what is going wrong. I suspect we might be waiting for
the filesystem a lot, according to cirrus-ci's CPU usage graph we're not CPU
bound during the test phase. Or maybe they just scale badly.

Any chance you're interested in rebasing and expanding

It'd be nice if we could enable these tasks on cfbot, where we bring our own
compute, while leaving them on manual for everyone else.
