Thanks. I was also worried about using xz unnecessary on my fedora laptop.

If you fear my system has been potentially compromised and the tar.xz I created can \
not be trusted, you should not trust the tar.bz2 I created either.

You can create your own tarballs by running
  git archive --prefix=poppler-24.4.0/ 0aa1fe5c30a6c467c91bad8d81bd6c2f57fcb726 > \
poppler-24.4.0.tar on the git repository

If you check the
  add_custom_target(dist
in CMakeLists.txt that and a few small other things is what is used to create the \
release tarball.

Cheers,
  Albert
