A Program for Compressing Files

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.

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.
