...being. We understand the complexity of migrating away from it, so we want to give more time to do that. However beware that there are memory management issues in liblzma and we consider it unsafe to use. Feel free to use any of the other supported compresion algorithms instead. (We are also adding zstandard support in 2.3.11.) You can switch your repository configuration to not use the ce-2.3-latest symlink, but rather to use a specific version (e.g., ce-2.3.10) giving you the control about when the system upgrades to a new version without missing out on CVE fixes in updated packages. Finally, I wan...

Many distros and browsers these days use zstd as the preferred compression method. For example if you unpack a .deb or .rpm file on Debian or Fedora there is zstd archive inside. It is claimed that zstd offers improved compression over gzip, but (unlike lzma) it has comparable decompression speed. Maybe it is interesting to get an estimate of how much R packages would benefit from zstd. Testing
