Sorry for the noise, I didn't read that you tried that already. -- Iyán Méndez Veiga GPG 0x422E3694311E5AC1
Hello, You want the binary? https://www.hylafax.org/downloads/ You want a package? Once it is deleted from the AUR it is gone, someone will need to add this back to the AUR most likely, maybe an admin or TU can pull the old pkg but I doubt it.

Sorry,
First, it was not in the AUR, it was in the repos. The AUR is backed by git, and the git history isn't ever deleted, so it's never gone. The repos are currently backed by svn and mirrored to git, which they were already linked to, and again, never gone.
Oh... I thought was in the AUR, sorry my bad...

https://github.com/archlinux/ It is either in svntogit-packages or svntogit-community. Find the commit that dropped the package and checkout the predecessor. BR

Thanks, I'll check there. To be clear, the hylafax package was in the extra repo and last updated in April, 2021 and dropped sometime thereafter. I have a very old package saved in a tar of the last ABS from 9/24/15, but nothing since as I had no need to asp export it. I really just need to make sure the build options and the various queue, and notify options are compatible with what the new package uses to avoid chasing my tail troubleshooting some obscure option change. (all too familiar with that drill...) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
Hello, Surely the halifax package should be added to the AUR if it was dropped from the official mirrors? If the demand is there for the package, I could add it to the AUR? Thanks, -- Polarian GPG signature: 0770E5312238C760 Website: https://polarian.dev JID/XMPP: polarian@polarian.dev

I did not know that Github has no UI for searching history. Of
course you would not want to download the whole repo just to
search. Out of curiosity I tried it myself, with a little trick:
$ git clone --filter=blob:none --no-checkout --single-branch
--branch master https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages.git
$ cd svntogit-packages/
$ git log | less
and a bit of searching gives
commit ea9816ac98db68bc4b2af001538f97c87b46bfec

I must not know how to search old packages. I've search both, hylafax does not appear. I even searched Rojas' packages (the maintainer before it was dropped) and nothing appears. Did the "extra" repository packages end up in either svntogit-packages or svntogit-community? Seems like there would be an svntogit-extra repo? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

How about this: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aarchlinux+hylafax&type=commits. Looks like it was removed by https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/ec308cb9b0d6b821111b9b.... -- Best regards, SM GPG: 103BF9E3E750BF7E
