The GitHub repo at <https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz> has been
deactivated, but there's another xz repo (likely the original one)
at <https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz>. The most recent commit
in that repo is "CMake: Fix sabotaged Landlock sandbox check.".
I have no inside knowledge about any of this.
I'm running the Cygwin setup right now. It reverts the xz package
from 5.6.1-1 to 5.4.6-1. Only 5.4.2-1 and 5.4.6-1 are available.
