Hey guys, I set up an alternative package, par-git, which builds from the sources (hosted on BitBucket, less likely to go unresponsive) and currently offers version 1.53.0.

Upstream seems unresponsive; I'm disowning the package in case anybody wants to carry the torch. Best of luck!

@pancho Archive.org to the rescue: https://web.archive.org/web/20211124173449/http://sysmic.org/dl/par/par-1.52-i18n.4.patch

@somercet: thanks for reporting it. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the patch offline, otherwise I could add it to the package… I guess we'll have to wait for sysmic.org to be restored, or if someone here has a copy we can put in in the package. Since the SHA512 hash is recorded, trust wouldn't be an issue).

Anybody?

Hmm, http://sysmic.org/ seems to be down.

I've added an issue to track this effort: https://bitbucket.org/amc-nicemice/par/issues/6/request-rewiew-of-j-r-me-pouillers

@ifreund notified me back in march via the out-of-date mechanism that a new version (1.53) was available upstream¹ (yup, after 19 years since the 1.52 release) \o/.

Unfortunately, the i18n patch that we are applying to the 1.52, and which confers par the ability to deal with UTF-8, does not apply cleanly to 1.53. The par author has introduced some fixes to the locale handling for (single byte) charsets other than US ASCII, but no support for multibyte encodings² yet.

Until the i18n patch gets updated to apply to 1.53 (any uptakers?), I would say that we are better off as we are.

This also works happily on armv7h if you add it to the architectures list.

Thank you @pancho! I've just installed the update.
