Source should be in the same site, just add /files to hostname and look for
tgz. I think 1.5.8.3, last year version.

It was built with gcc 4.8 port for plan9 (static). You'll need some kind of
ksh to use it, git has many shell scripts.
It works with go get but sometimes it fails miserably retrieving packages
because it has an strong dependency of fsync to freeze sha keys in fs
during fetching. And that is just a dummy in Plan 9 ape. I used fflush
trying to make some tweak and disabling one sha check (it does 4 or 5) to
bypass that symptom, but finally I was bored at the end.

I still use it to go get, but it needs a deeply review and an upgrade.
