[Bug 2055422] Re: Please sync xz-utils 5.6.0-0.2 from Debian experimental

[Adrien Nader]

I had forgotten about this bug. Thanks for bringing this up and let me
close this.

** Changed in: xz-utils (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Description changed:

+ NOTE: THE VERSION MENTIONED HERE HAS BEEN BACKDOORED.
+ I am keeping the text below unchanged due to its possible historical relevance.
+ 
+ ======
+ 
  Xz-utils 5.6.0 was released last Friday. It features a much faster
  decompression code on all platforms but on x86_64 in particular, it is
  60% faster in my testing. It also aligns better current practices of
  enabling multi-threading by default (always with a default memory limit
  of 25% of the system physical memory).
  
  Sebastian Andrzej Siewior has uploaded it to experimental and after a
  few fixes for integration (due to extra output on stderr in particular),
  has uploaded xz-utils 5.6.0-0.2.
  
  I expect tests to pass now considering they almost all succeeded with the first upload.
  I am aware of tweaks to other packages too but I'm not sure they will actually be needed with this new upload and since they relate to pristine-tar and/or dpkg, I think it's probably better to be sure first due to the ongoing migrations.
  
  Thanks.
