I was also able to find an archive on GitHub, with the addition of one line:

https://github.com/detly/mactel-boot

```console
% diff -r mactel-boot ~/Downloads/mactel-boot-0.9
Only in mactel-boot: .git
diff -r mactel-boot/bless.c /Users/adminaccount/Downloads/mactel-boot-0.9/bless.c

< #include <unistd.h>
```

Hi Neal Gompa,

Could you take a look at updating the upstream URL of mactel-boot? I'd like to see mactel-boot be used again: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2347153

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
