Stacked on the modifications PR. Now that no live code path references
the per-package fetchers, the shared HTTP/parsing helpers, the
in-process normalizer, or the example template, delete them. Pure
deletion — no behavior change.
- ~93 per-package <pkg>/releases.js fetcher modules.
- _common/{brew,fetcher,git-tag,gitea,github,github-source,
githubish,githubish-source}.js shared HTTP/parsing helpers.
- _webi/normalize.js in-process normalization layer (cache files
arrive normalized from webicached).
- _example/releases.js fetcher template for new packages.
The Go cache daemon (webicached) is now the sole producer of release
metadata; the Node process never makes an upstream request.

| XZ Utils | https://tukaani.org/xz/ | XZ Utils is free general-purpose data compression software with a high compression ratio. |
To update or switch versions, run webi xz@stable (or @v5.2, @beta, etc).

Cheat Sheet
xz and unxz are modern alternatives to gzip (and gunzip). They use LZMA2
(de)compression (like 7z), and is supported across many platforms, and by tar.
Here's the shortlist of options we've found most useful:
-z, --compress force compression
-d, --decompress force decompression
-l, --list list information about .xz files
-k, --keep keep (don't delete) input files
-c, --stdout write to standard output and don't delete input files
-0 ... -9 (de)compression can take up to 4gb RAM at 7-9 (default 6)
-e, --extreme try to improve compression ratio by using more CPU time
-T, --threads=N use up to N threads; set to 0 to match CPU cores (default 1)
How to "Unzip"
unxz -k example.xz
tar xvf example.tar.xz
How to "Zip"
xz -k ./example
tar cvf example.tar.xz ./example
