[Slackbuilds-users] postgresql 14.x going EOL on November 2

[B. Watson]

To everyone who has scripts with REQUIRES="postgresql"...

We already have 4 newer versions of postgresql in the repo,
postgresql15 through postgresql18. Please test your scripts against
these versions, and get them working with the highest-numbered version
of postgresql possible. Most likely, most of these will work fine
without patching/etc, but there's no way to find out until you try it.

postgresql 14.x is going to be EOLed upstream in November of this
year, and we plan to remove it from our repo. That's about 90 days
from now, which hopefully gives enough time for getting things to work
with a newer postgresql.

At the same time, we'd like to remove postgresql15, postgresql16, and
postgresql17 if possible (if nothing ends up requiring them). Ideally,
all dependees should be updated to work with postgresql18 (which may
mean updating the dependees' versions, too).
