Not sure this is the best upstream location. The LWN thread also has
this comment https://lwn.net/Articles/762340/ which points to this
webpage https://sourceware.org/bzip2 which has a canonical locations
pointing to https://www.sourceware.org/bzip2/
So, I am not sure which is better: an out-dated (but soon to be revived)
webpage, or a git tree made by a random guy on a random forge (there are
also github trees as well, and no doubt we can also find more random git
trees elesewhere).
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
