A Program for Compressing Files

Edit Package xz

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.

- revert the switch to tar_scm which dropped the signature
  validation
- switch back to tarballs because the upstream tarballs are not
  gone
- reinstanciate keyring from Lasse
- go back to the last release signed by Lasse (5.4.2)
- revert multibuild, drop service and rpmlintrc
- use real_ver for the Source, move everything else back to
  %version like before the hectic XZ downgrade
- remove payload setting, we are using zstd now

- Switch to using tar_scm for fetching the sources as the upstream
  tarballs on github are gone
- introduce _multibuild to allow building the translations outside
  of Ring0 and everything else in Ring0
- add rpmlintrc to silence harmless warnings
