Re: xz backdoor

Hi,

I'm seeing weird things.

For whatever reason Source for xz was changed 2 months ago[1] to use
GH releases instead of tukaani.org site.

The XZ page[2] has a note stating:

"Note: GitHub automatically includes two archives Source code (zip)
and Source code (tar.gz) in the releases. These archives cannot be
disabled and should be ignored."

And they wayback WayBackMachine[3] doesn't have previous versions.

Do we know if GH release tarballs are safe?
@richard, do you remember why you had to change the source for the tarball?

Regards,
Mikel
