Hi
And yet pg_basebackup doesn't complain about an invalid option. (Technically, this is a bug; I first noticed it a week after copying a script from a PG 15 server to five PG 14 servers, and running it quite a few times without fail.)
Seems a bit suspect, but as your script doesn’t mention tar the option itself is apparently ignored, I guess silently. Assuming this isn’t an actual regression in behavior in a patch-released older version I don’t see us adding an error message at this point.
If the support is removed then it should be mentioned in the official documentation.
Support wasn’t removed. Re-read the email and check the version/times being mentioned again.
