lha missing?

I'm a little confused about what happened to lha.  It seems to be gone from all the mirrors and the official ftp site, but it still shows up in a package search from the Arch home page.

I need it now, so I'm going to go build it... if it's been permanently dropped, I can add it to AUR.  But somehow I don't think it was deliberately dropped.

Any ideas?

pacman -Ss lha
extra/glhack 1.2-3
    A port of Nethack, a single player dungeon exploration game in 2D
extra/lha 1.17-3
    lha is a compression and archive utility for LH-7 format archives

It shows up fine here.

Dangit--I just installed x86_64 on this machine, and there's no x86_64 version of lha.

Nevermind!  2 AM--it really is time to go to sleep.

Hello beej!

Did you try Arch Rollback Machine from downgrade wiki ?

I didn't know about this site, so very interesting.

It looks like lha-1.17-1 was dropped from x86_64 between Jan 1 and Jan 11 2009. It looks like the package used to not specify an arch, and it was modified at that time to explicitly specify i686, and not x86_64.

I wonder if there is a x86_64 issue here... the package is currently an orphan.

Looks like the PKGBUILD just repackages a lha binary.  It shows help when I run it, but maybe there's a 64-bit incompatibility in there somewhere.

Anyway--there are source-based LHAs in the AUR that work.

Re: lha missing?

Yeah, and in last you you could try install manually in such cases.
