[Slackbuilds-users] p7zip SlackBuild source is missing/404

Hello,

The slackbuild for p7zip has had a 404'd source url for a number of weeks
now. I have emailed the maintainer's email address last week about it, and
a friend of mine has emailed him the week before that. Neither of us have
heard back and the URL is still 404'd.

Is it possible one of the admins can update the source, or, does someone
know an email that the maintainer will actually check?

I'm forwarding my last email with relevant details on what needs to be
updated.

Hello,

I am emailing you because you are the maintainter of p7zip on
slackbuilds.org and the build is currently broken due to the upstream
source URL returning a 404 error.

I searched around and it seems the project releases are now hosted at the
following github page:
https://github.com/p7zip-project/p7zip/releases

Here's a patch to fix the URL in the .info file which I tested and is
working properly with your current version of the p7zip build:

It would be nice to see that build fixed, since I maintain other builds on
slackbuilds.org that depend on it (chrome-gnome-shell).
