Upstream has now released a Test2-based version of Test-Simple as a stable

in the event of severe problems with this major refactoring of a module in
very widespread use.
It's a little unfortunate timing. Jitka would like to start upgrading Perl at
the same time. Let's hope it will not break many things (Fedora has only
perl-Test-Able and perl-Test-Able-Runner). I saw p5p discussion about merging
it into the blead to obtain better testing coverage.
The new package will obsolete/provide the existing perl-Test2 package.
Thanks for the notification. I will retire it after the new perl-Test-Simple
shows its viability.
I have just built perl-Test-Simple-1.302019-1.fc25 on Perl 5.24.0 in
Rawhide. Let's hope Koschei doesn't get too excited ;-)
Paul.
