Arch Linux User Repository

There's now a custom repo and binaries again. Though only for x86_64 currently.

Custom Repo

[pacman-static]
SigLevel = Required
Server = https://pkgbuild.com/~morganamilo/$repo/$arch

Pre compiled binaries

@BryanLiang: upstream also uses https://git.tukaani.org/xz.git#tag=v${pkgver}") with pkgver=5.6.1. So this is presumably ok to take. But I prefer to wait a little bit for official statements and a 5.6.2 version..

Another round in the Easter egg hunt for xz 5.4.6, resorting now to the version on SourceForge. Also removed possibly compromised PGP keys.

Can this please be removed from the package? '22D465F2B4C173803B20C6DE59FCF207FEA7F445') # Jia Tan jiat0218@gmail.com

@BryanLiang: You don't expect me to use any source tarball I didn't verify myself against the one used in the old pkg source package on archive.org. :-) Fedora happens to have the same tarball for 5.4.6 only, that's why I rather take this one.

@andreas_baumann I found a git repo which is still working https://git.tukaani.org/xz.git from a reddit comment.

But I'm not sure the git repo is trusted.

Strange things happening here with xz:

This repository has been disabled.

" Access to this repository has been disabled by GitHub Staff due to a violation of GitHub's terms of service. If you are the owner of the repository, you may reach out to GitHub Support for more information. "

More on this https://www.phoronix.com/news/GitHub-Disables-XZ-Repo.

Getting 5.4.6 from Fedora for now. (Could also take them from sources.archive.org, but then the tarball and signature are not easy accessible from there).

Upstream xz 5.6.1 is patched with a versoin from the (for now) not available github repo, so..

Proposal.
Add -ffat-lto-objects flag to LTOFLAGS to prevent mangling of static libs.(gcc)
If We add -ffat-lto-objects to LTOFLAGS, We don't have to worry about specifying lto options in makepkg.conf or PKGBUILD.

Will update to 6.1 when core-stable goes to 6.1 not if core-testing is on 6.1.

@Archttila: this doesn't explain anything. What where you doing when you got this error message?
