Description

Previously: #40407

Older branches generally have the following test matrix pattern for jobs on Travis CI (with a reduced number of jobs for very old branches):

  • JS tests
  • Latest PHP version
  • Latest 5.x PHP version
  • Latest 5.x PHP version with object cache
  • PHP 5.2

The Travis CI build process still takes up too much time during the backporting of fixes to older branches. Speeding up (and fixing, see #42385) branch test suites means less stress for committers and less risk taking.

The "Latest 5.x PHP version" job can be removed if there's also a corresponding object cache job. The likelihood of a PHP 5.x issue being introduced into an older branch which doesn't also affect 5.x with an object cache in place is vanishingly small.

I contemplated removing the PHP 5.2 job too, but I'm undecided.

I've decided to trim the standard 5.6 job too, leaving just the object cache job for 5.6. See ticket summary above. @netweb any objections?
