I can not comment on Ben's research.  Is there any bioinformatician who
could clarify what version of MUMmer should be sensibly packaged?

Maybe: as a general guide you should at least provide an equivalent of the most recent bioconda package:

https://bioconda.github.io/recipes/mummer/README.html

A quick literature search for citations to Mummer's canonical publication https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2020&hl=en&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5&cites=15093378899564891093&scipsc= suggested most researchers are using 3.23.

Watching the bioconda forum for updates is also useful to work out if there are significant improvements upstream.

Jim.

PS. Keep up the amazing work - all my time is taken up wrangling Jalview right now but I'll continue to monitor emails (at least) and delurk when I can contribute...
