  • Change git packages to xz
  • Update mirror checksums in packages where they are used
  • Change a few source tarballs to xz if available upstream
  • Remove unused lines in packages we're touching, requested by jow- and blogic
  • We're relying more on xz-utils so add official mirror as primary source, master site as secondary.
  • Add xz-utils to make prereq
  • Add SHA256 checksums to multiple git tarball packages

Add xz-utils to make prereq

Adds a slightly higher compression level to xz by default which roughly raises memory usage from 100MiB to about 200MiB during compression, about 10MiB for decompression. (Source: xz manpage)
