Version: 5.1.1alpha+20120614-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch fixed-upstream

Please consider the following fixes from 5.1.2alpha (aka patches
man-date, man-xz-lvv-minver, xz-lvv-empty-block-minver,
decoder-check-first-0x00 from debian/patches in commit c3301d0d of the
packaging repo):

  The documentation "xz --robot -lvv" format leaves out the "minimum
  version required to decompress" field.

  "xz -lvv" reports that version 5.0.3 of liblzma is the minimum
  version of xz that can decompress files with blocks with zero
  uncompressed_size, but 5.0.2 works.

  liblzma tolerates malformed range encoded data with 0x00 as first
  byte instead of erroring out.

The first is just a documentation bugfix, but it's low-risk.  The
second and third make Debian xz match upstream more closely without
introducing new interfaces.  Other patches from 5.1.2alpha
(example-usage, xz-block-list, build-doc-symvers,
configure-clarify-symvers, doc-threads-and-fork, version-5.1.2,
news-5.1.2) are not urgent so let's stick to these three for now.

Thanks,
Jonathan
