CL seems to use the python variant (used to have since its archived now)

an update would solve this (?)

it is currently in os-clr-on-clr-dev

[K1ngfish3r]

as per https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/xxhash/blob/master/Makefile the package currently in use is the python bindings from here https://pypi.org/project/xxhash/
the version 2.0.0 is from 5 years ago, currently the package is at version 3.5.0

OP is suggesting moving to the main xxhash project https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash/, as you can see on their website https://xxhash.com/#other-languages

The xxhash python bindings we don't ship any more. The request doesn't reference python at all as far as I can tell.
