No, it was more a question. I have forked net_nntp and created a
composer relation to pear_core_minimal 1.10.3 or higher.
I thought that choosing a lower version maybe did not support php 7.1

Is it ok if I include >= 1.10.3 ?

The package is tested via travis-ci.org, and passes the tests against
PHP v5.4, v5.5, v5.6, v7.0 and 
v7.1, so how does It not support these versions?

If your question relates the the pear-core-minimal package, I believe
the answer were already 
provided in the previous reply...

What would be the requirements if we want the package to support php 5.4
till 7.1 ?

I recognize your point, however I am not sure if using different
requirements in package.xml and 
composer.json is acceptable. I am not aware of current PEAR guidelines
on this subject.

Also changing the requirement to pear-core-minimal would require
upgrading the minimal version 
from 1.4.x to 1.9.5, since this is the first version tagged in the
pear-core-minimal repository. I have 
not looked into possible backward compatibility break between these
versions. 

I currently do not have time for such non-bug optimizations of this
legacy code. However, if you 
provide a working pull request for a v1.6 branch (with proper updates to
both package.xml and 
composer.json), I will of cause roll a release. Since the package
currently requires php v5.0, pear-
core-minimal should not require anything beyond v1.9.x.

Description:
------------
The composer file requires pear which drags in almost 1800 files !
The package pear-core-minimal is enough for net_nntp.
Please change the composer.json require.
