Old distributions moving to apt-archive.postgresql.org: jessie wheezy eoan disco trusty precise

[apt.postgresql.org via PostgreSQL Announce]

Some old distributions on apt.postgresql.org that are EOL will be moving to 
https://apt-archive.postgresql.org/:

  * jessie-pgdg
  * wheezy-pgdg
  * eoan-pgdg
  * disco-pgdg
  * trusty-pgdg
  * precise-pgdg

To allow systems still using these distributions to upgrade smoothly, the 
repository files will stay on apt.postgresql.org until the end of March 2021; 
the files are already available on apt-archive. No updates will be provided for 
these anymore.

PostgreSQL on s390x on Debian and Ubuntu

[apt.postgresql.org via PostgreSQL Announce]

Debian has a long history of supporting [diverse machine 
architectures](https://www.debian.org/ports/), but the number of architectures 
supported on [apt.postgresql.org](https://apt.postgresql.org), the repository 
for PostgreSQL on Debian and Ubuntu, has only been growing slowly. So far, this 
has been amd64 (Intel/AMD x86_64), ppc64el (IBM POWER), and arm64 (Arm 
aarch64). The old i386 (Intel 32-bit x86) port is still there, but only for the 
oldest release (and Debian unstable).

Today, I am happy to announce that the family is growing again, with the 
addition of [IBM's z-series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Z) architecture, 
called "s390x" in Debian terms.

A build machine has been provided by Marist College's [LinuxOne 
cloud](https://linuxone.cloud.marist.edu/). Preparations to get the 
architecture set up have been running since earlier this year. Initially, there 
were some stability problems with the newer PostgreSQL versions, but these have 
been tackled with patches provided by the PostgreSQL hackers community. Thanks 
to CYBERTEC PostgreSQL for supporting me working on this!

The s390x architecture is now fully supported for Debian and Ubuntu on 
apt.postgresql.org.

Cheers,
Christoph
