source tarball for XZ 5.2.7 no longer available

[catalinbostan]

Couldn't find file xz-5.2.7.tar.bz2 anywhere, and downloading it didn't work either...

found working repo at :

http://distfiles.macports.org/xz/xz-5.2.7.tar.bz2

perhaps using the github sources would be a better idea -- https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz/tags

It looks like they've fixed this issue and these are now available again:

Downloads are indeed working as expecting now (without changes on our side), so closing this...
