hanno on Nostr: I have a story to tell that is relevant to the xz-utils thing that just happened. ...
I have a story to tell that is relevant to the xz-utils thing that just happened. I'll probably write this up properly later, but I'm in pre-vacation mode so it may take a while . We have a problem with the way we develop and then distribute FOSS software, and both stories show that. A while ago I looked at the testcases of a widely used library implementing a widely used data format. There was one file that was... strange. 🧵
