it seems that the original authors have announced the suspension of the
development activity for fwbuilder at their sourceforge page:

https://sourceforge.net/p/fwbuilder/news/2013/04/announcement-/

Since then the fork has released various new versions (currently 5.3.7,
see https://github.com/fwbuilder/fwbuilder/blob/master/doc/ChangeLog) so
it looks to me like the fork would be the way to go here.
