As the patch repository appears to be unavailable without short term solution, is there any workaround allowing to download and install existing patches?
Unfortunately not.
There is no mirror that I’m aware of, and while archive.org has the web site, it does not have the content/patch tarballs.
You could ask if someone have the patch that you need. Installing is trivial. 
One folder, two files (patch.json, unified_diff.patch) at /usr/share/patchmanager/patches

Thx. However, I wasn’t asking for myself only. Also for the community.

As for the current downtime, I am not sure as to why that is…

Should we now consider the SFOS patch subsystem as dead? If so, any candidate to rebuild it?

Unless we have a “divine surprise”, the key persons left the boat permanently. So yes, we have to establish a long term arrangement with redundant hosting, project continuity etc.

Can we get ahold of him?
can the developer move patches to chum repos ?
In theory RPMs could be put there, but it would lack most of the functionality of the Web Catalog interface.
I make a backup from all patches from this web cataloge in 01.03.2022. Maybe we can port this to a new server and collect the Versionsupdates fom March to September from the phones and all users here?
I saved on this day also the main page but not all sides

Hasn’t coderus moved to sweden lately? Maybe he’ll fix it when he finds some time.

But he also stopped working on SFOS months ago. And I think it makes sense for someone else to have to host it from now on. I hope when he finds time he can provide the backups.
If it helps, I could host it but I’d need some help to set it up.

Today I noticed that the patchmanager web catolog is down. This is really sad as I really depend on it 
There is the info that @coderus stopped working with SFOS sometime ago.
If so, why we weren’t prepared for that? 
Can someone contact coderus about this? Maybe he would host everything that seems to be lost?
