750 commits... is xz able to send e-mails yet?


No. But if you have any centrifuges they will probably exhibit inconsistent behavior.


Maybe it’s the centrifuges which will send the mail, making the world’s first uranium-enriching spam botnet.


It's hardly surprising given that parsing is generally considered to be a tricky problem. Plus, it's a 15 years old project that's widely used. 750 commits is nothing to sneer about. No wonder the original maintainer got burned out.


750 is not that many commits if you follow a commit style where each independent change gets its own commit.


Yes, it sends an email containing your private key on installation.
