Description fedora.dm0 2021-11-21 15:57:57 UTC
Description of problem:
The latest xz tag from a month ago includes support for the new MicroLZMA format for embedded use cases, which is supported by a package I maintain.  Can this version be packaged at least in rawhide?  Or maybe a new xz package variant is warranted?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
v5.3.2alpha

Comment 1 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2021-12-07 00:23:15 UTC
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2022-02-08 21:22:30 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle.
Changing version to 36.

Comment 3 Matej Mužila 2022-03-17 09:29:21 UTC
Once a new *stable* version of xz is released, I'll update it in rawhide.

Comment 4 fedora.dm0 2023-01-09 17:22:36 UTC
I'll close this as a duplicate since release-monitoring.org is pestering about updating to 5.4 now.
