Local Packages

  • Updated xz to 5.0.3:

    • liblzma:

      • A memory leak was fixed

      • lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates an empty .xz Block if encoding an empty buffer; such an empty Block with LZMA2 data would trigger a bug in 5.0.1 and older

      • Validate function arguments better in a few functions; most importantly, specifying an unsupported integrity check to lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates a corrupt .xz file

      • Document that lzma_block_buffer_encode(), lzma_easy_buffer_encode(), lzma_stream_encoder(), and lzma_stream_buffer_encode() may return LZMA_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK

      • The return values of the _memusage() functions are now documented better

    • Fix command name detection in xzgrep; xzegrep and xzfgrep now correctly use egrep and fgrep instead of grep

    • French translation was added.

  • Rebuilt perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma for xz 5.0.3
