Sorry about that, the download link should be fixed now, see
https://code.guido-berhoerster.org/projects/xwrited/downloads/xwrited-1.tar.gz

Cloning over https still doesn't work, uwsgi somehow eats query
strings, I'll debug that later. However, you can download a tarball
of the repo via the web interface
https://hg.guido-berhoerster.org/projects/pk-update-icon/archive/tip.tar.bz2

Not that I'm aware of, I only maintain a package on OBS for
openSUSE.
