Parchive development has moved GitHub.

PAR2 (libpar2/par2cmdline) continues to see active (if sporadic) maintenance. The most recent tagged release was 2020-02-09 but there've been a handful of PR's merged since. [2]

PAR3 has a reference implementation and alpha spec (libpar3/par3cmdline) which is based around Blake3. [3]

OG PAR (libpar/parcmdline) is legit unmaintained; the last release was 21 years ago. [1]

Thanks for the update -- it was hard to find any information on the program.

And I guess, more importantly, your first link (well, [2]), is also the source used for at least the Debian package, so it's at least more up to date!
