A Program for Compressing Files
http://tukaani.org/xz/
The xz command is a very powerful program for compressing files.
* Average compression ratio of LZMA is about 30% better than that of
gzip, and 15% better than that of bzip2.
* Decompression speed is only little slower than that of gzip, being
two to five times faster than bzip2.
* In fast mode, compresses faster than bzip2 with a comparable
compression ratio.
* Achieving the best compression ratios takes four to even twelve
times longer than with bzip2. However. this doesn't affect
decompressing speed.
* Very similar command line interface to what gzip and bzip2 have.

- update to 5.6.0: * This bumps the minor version of liblzma because new features were added. The API and ABI are still backward compatible with liblzma 5.4.x and 5.2.x and 5.0.x. * liblzma: - Disabled the branchless C variant in the LZMA decoder based on the benchmark results from the community. - Disabled x86-64 inline assembly on x32 to fix the build. * Sandboxing support in xz: - Landlock is now used even when xz needs to create files. - Landlock and pledge(2) are now stricter when reading from more than one input file and only writing to standard output. - Added support for Landlock ABI version 4. - Now builds lzmainfo and lzmadec. - xzdiff, xzgrep, xzless, xzmore, and their symlinks are now installed. The scripts are also tested during "make test". - Added translation support for xz, lzmainfo, and the man pages. - Minimum required CMake version is now 3.14. * liblzma: - LZMA decoder: Speed optimizations to the C code and added GCC & Clang compatible inline assembly for x86-64. - Added lzma_mt_block_size() to recommend a Block size for multithreaded encoding. - Added CLMUL-based CRC32 on x86-64 and E2K with

Hello I am well aware of the backdoored issue that's recently been discoled with xz. I was wondering if its possible to provide an update to version 5.6.1 with the backdoor no longer there. As in, the fix from upstream as stated here from Arch Linux https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/xz/-/commit/7c652d0757eb139de80ae38ff02a9cf235629739
Perhaps even switch from Github to another source https://git.tukaani.org/ if possible.
