Is menumaker no longer in the pacman repos?

I was reinstalling icewm and I wanted to have the menu generated like the Wiki says with menumaker, unfortunately I didn't have menumaker previously installed and now it can't seem to be found in any repos as menumaker(like wiki says) or mmaker(the executable name). I'll be checking AUR here in a second but I just thought I'd ask what happened to it.

Well, menumaker is in AUR, but there are some problems. The PKGBUILD contains no arch=('x86_64') and source= points to a location that just hangs during the file getting... then, even after I added the arch= and pointed source to a location that would get the correct file the compilation needs me to move that tar.gz file to the src/ folder of that pkgbuild and then after it compiles it doesn't move the files to /usr for use and trying to run the files from their location gives a message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./mmaker", line 3, in <module>
    import MenuMaker.CLI

So I think the PKGBUILD needs to be updated... I'll try working on that but I haven't worked with PKGBUILDs very much, at all actually, so it'll either be a while until I fix it, or one of the developers or a user with more experience than me might pick it up and fix it before I'm done.

just add x86_64 to the arch array ... and sf can be unresponsive sometimes, you can just add the subdomain of a mirror close to you ...
so it'd become .. *://kent.dl.* where 'kent' is the name of the mirror .. kent is a South-East UK mirror ... but it should be more responsive, another mirror is superb-east, from the USA.

Thank you for the kent.--- suggestion, it worked great finally and pacman -U blahblah finally worked without a problem (sorry I didn't post that's one of the places it hung up earlier) but it works now! And saves much work heh... thanks again!
