I think we have enough info now to draw conclusions. There are several buildfarm animals that are running TAP tests but haven't reported since this went in. However, I don't think any of them will yield surprises: frogfish | 2021-11-10 02:24:27 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... ok mandrill | 2021-11-12 04:45:42 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... ok mereswine | 2021-11-12 09:48:49 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... ok sungazer | 2021-11-10 20:27:12 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... ok tern | 2021-11-09 05:27:38 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... ok topminnow | 2021-11-08 05:03:17 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... ok mereswine is running pretty up-to-date Debian, so that's not going to be an old version. mandrill, sungazer, and tern share the same host as hornet, which has reported using 1.302183. I cheated and looked at frogfish/topminnow's host, and it has Test::More 0.98: tgl@erpro8-fsf1:~$ perl -MTest::More -e 'print "$Test::More::VERSION\n"'; 0.98 So this should be a pretty complete summary of relevant old Test::More versions: prairiedog | 2021-11-13 12:38:32 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... 0.8701 lapwing | 2021-11-13 04:40:12 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... 0.98 prion | 2021-11-13 03:53:16 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... 0.98 snapper | 2021-11-13 17:27:29 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... 0.98 curculio | 2021-11-13 05:15:54 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... 1.001002 butterflyfish | 2021-11-13 06:00:29 | checking for perl module Test::More 0.87... 1.001014 There are a couple more running 1.001014, and everything else is 1.302something. So, discounting prairiedog's intentionally trailing-edge installation, the oldest stuff in the buildfarm is 0.98, of which there are five instances belonging to four different owners. Based on this, I'm inclined to think we should select 0.98 as the minimum version. Anything later would inconvenience some people. OTOH, it doesn't look like there's any value in promising compatibility with 0.96 instead, especially since I see a couple of subplan-related bug fixes in 0.97 and 0.98 in Test::Simple's changelog. regards, tom lane
