I’ve just realized that commit f9c62b23cc88541756656b3ec602ce987828d906, which added that deprecation warning, will actually only fire with daemons dating back from before 2018 (the date at which ‘PROTOCOL_VERSION’ was last updated in ‘worker-protocol.hh’). Going back to this issue at hand, it won’t report a daemon that lacks lzip support. Mathieu, Maxim: I think we need a finer-grain mechanism here, or maybe a new builtin that would let a client ask the daemon for supported features. Thoughts? Ludo’.
