The last upstream update was in 2014. While the software might still work, its usefulness depends on data archives, which are not updated anymore and have not been for several years. Upstream suggests to use kiwix instead.

Motivation for this change
The last upstream update was in 2014. While the software might still work, its usefulness depends on data archives, which are not updated anymore and have not been for several years.
Upstream suggests to use kiwix instead.
I used to use this back in the day and ran one of the nodes for generating the archives, so I got notified about the discontinuation, by the author. When I spotted it in #33248, I thought it should probably be dropped.
