From: Jonathan Watt <jwatt@xxxxxxxxx>
tar on macOS recognizes XZ compression automatically, but that is
not the case for GNU tar (1.32 at least). On Fedora 33 the current
instructions result in the following error:
$ xz -c libvirt-6.9.0.tar.xz | tar xvf -
tar: Archive is compressed. Use -J option
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
