As documented at the beginning of the page you linked, it's intentional but (possibly) temporary. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. For some reason the old XZ Utils versions are more popular downloads than the latest versions (5.0.8 and 5.2.2). Perhaps I should move the downloads somewhere else to avoid bandwidth quota issues, but on the other hand I feel that it's not nice if source-based distributions rely on upstream servers instead of providing their own distro-specific mirrors. If you think this isn't a reasonable wish, feel free to say so. By the way, is there a reason why you use 5.0.4 instead of 5.0.8 (or even 5.2.2)? I know that the point of many stable distributions is that packages don't get upgraded without a good reason, but with XZ Utils a stable branch gets fixes without new features. I hope this makes it easier for downstream distributions to make bug fixes available for users (backporting gets done by the upstream). --=20 Lasse Collin | IRC: Larhzu @ IRCnet & Freenode
