Seems like FDO has disabled cgit archive generation at some point.

In the sense - the code is still there[1] as well as the git tag[2], although it seems like they've disabled the cgit option to generated archive/tarball.

Yet again, I doubt if anyone is using this software any more.

Thank you for the information.
Attached minimal update switching PKGBUILD to the 1.2.2 commit, namcap detected zlib was not used, so I moved it to makedepends.
   PKGBUILD.diff (1.1 KiB)

The program links against zlib, although that might be erroneous. I would suggest looking at that separately.
