Archdevs,
Where can I get the last sourcepkg used to pkg hylafax for Arch before
hylafax was dropped from Arch? This was hylafax 6.0.7-4, e.g. with full info:

The issue being that libtiff 4.5 completely broke hylafax. There are two
packages bandaiding this, AUR hylafaxplus and the custom patched version for
libtiff at:
https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff/-/issues/504#note_1229203232
with an upcoming new release for hylafax+ on sourceforge that resolves the
issue with the exports removed from libtiff.
My issue is I need the setup for the last hylafax packaged by Arch to
prevent configuration issues. How can I get a copy of the last source package
for hylafax?
The forum post from 2009, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=164759
is out of date after the move to gitlab. The wiki page on downgrading
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Downgrading_packages still refers to ABS. How
to do it today?
