asusctl and dkms-hid-asus-rog missing from repository?

This directory disappeared in the last few days:

Where can I find asusctl and dkms-hid-asus-rog to install in Ubuntu? I'm using an ASUS Zephyrus G14. Please forgive me if I ask this in the wrong place. Thanks!!

You have two options:

• find a way to contact original repository owner for example on their GitLab - and temporary comment out the relevant line in sources.list (or use Software & Updates GUI application) and wait for solution;

• if you are in hurry - compile the application from sources by yourself using below procedure:

  sudo apt autopurge asusctl dkms-hid-asus-rog # remove debs first
  sudo apt install build-essential cargo git pkg-config libclang-dev libudev-dev
  cd ~/Downloads
  git clone -b 4.0.6
  cd asusctl
  make
  sudo make install
  sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart asusd

  When all things will return to normal - uninstall self compiled version by

  cd ~/Downloads/asusctl
  sudo make uninstall
  sudo mv /etc/asusd ~/

  then reinstall deb-package when it will be available again.

Note: AUR and original repository owner say that dkms-hid-asus-rog (hid-asus-rog-dkms) is now out of date and archived.
