where is shorewall package now? pacman -Sy shorewall fails

Hi,
I have just install fresh arch linux on my server and I want to use shorewall, but i can't obtain it from pacman. I have core, extra and comunity repos enabled in pacman.conf and I have

# Any
Server = ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/i686

in mirror list.
I have tried different mirrors and testing repos too, but without any progress, can anybody tell me where is shorewall package now?
Thanks
O1da

1. never do -Sy foobar. It tends to break your system. (just look at all the people who had problems with readline, libjpeg, libpng, openssl and similar).  -Syu and -S instead

2. aur

Ok and thanks.
Btw why and when was shorewall located to AUR? I installed it from comunity repo few months ago.

I guess it was orphaned and no TU was interested in it.

It is quite strange, because shorewall is active project.

Activity upstream does not obligate Arch devs/TUs to maintain it in the official repos. The AUR is full of "active" projects.
