Come on, building xz requires xz ?
I maintain a project for many targets where xz and tar is only built if it's needed to let it work with xz compressed sources. You could aggregate the packages from there https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/home:rudi_m:bldchn
xz itself cannot sanely buildrequires xz!
The self-dependency is quite obvious: xz upstream choose to compress their tar ball with xz itself.
Why do you claim that? Upstream does provide gzipped, bzip2ped and xzipped tarballs, so it was pure maintainer's decision to pickup xz archive. BTW: I have already submitted request for a change, which uses http://tukaani.org/xz/xz-5.0.5.tar.gz, just not yet accepted. Regards Michal Vyskocil
