   Hi,

I'm writing to let you know about security advisories XSA 7, 8, 9 which
affect this package.

Do you plan to update it for these and also for the broken xz-tools
dependency?

If not, would you mind making a disownment request so that I can fix the
PKGBUILD?

Thanks and awaiting your reply,
Luceo.
