[aur-general] What's happened with URxvt upstream? And how to build dependent packages now?

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 11:56:07 -0700 

Hi guys,
 
First of all, I’d like to say, I’m a long-time and happy user of the URxvt 
terminal emulator and more precisely — of its AUR package 
"rxvt-unicode-better-wheel-scrolling" [1]. It’s the very good complement to a 
WM of my choice (Window Maker) for many years.
 
From aside, I didn’t updated Arch on my laptop around a year (11 months with a 
couple-triple of extra days). And in the end of last eek I’ve decided to do so 
(with help, of couse, pacman-static from the private repo of Eli Schwartz [2] — 
and then with the stock pacman straight out). Finally, my system is running 
well with all the official packages updated and those from the AUR too, except 
one mentioned for this asking — URxvt.
 
AFAIK, and as checked out some of the AUR packages, resembling and augmenting 
functionality of the URxvt terminal emulator, — they are all pulling out the 
upstream tarball in their PKGBUILDs from Mark Lehmann’s website. The latter is 
currently unavailable, unfortunately. And the URxvt tarball is also unavailable 
for downloading.
 
What to do now with this, guys? — Maybe some of you know where to get 
aforementined URxvt tarball (another URL, publicly advertised, or someone 
hosted it on their website).
 
Thanks in advance for a suitable solution or direction to solve this out there.
