The original SourceForge Parchive project has been inactive since November 9, 2010. The par2cmdline github project has active development.
isnt this an indicator that the original par should be dropped, because nobody is maintaining it anymore? Reminds me of uClibc-ng [1]
The remaining question then is about the naming of the par2 package
Or is 'par' still useful for some cases and someone is willing to keep it building and address issues?
I'll pose another question. Can data saved with par long ago be recovered with par2? If the answer is no, then par is still needed, as is (ie, with whatever bugs it has). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
