https://www.zsh.org/pub/zsh-5.9.tar.xz now returns 404 — zsh.org moved older releases under /pub/old/, so zsh fails to build (source can't be fetched).

Fix: point at https://www.zsh.org/pub/old/zsh-%{version}.tar.xz, which serves the identical tarball — sha256 9b8d1ecedd... unchanged (verified by download). Content-identical URL swap; no version/behavior change.

Found by the reproducibility audit (landed as build_failed with the 404 in its log).

https://www.zsh.org/pub/zsh-5.9.tar.xz now 404s -- zsh.org moved older releases to /pub/old/. Point at https://www.zsh.org/pub/old/zsh-5.9.tar.xz, which serves the identical tarball (sha256 9b8d1ecedd... unchanged, verified). Fixes a hard FTBFS (source could not be fetched at all).

Poem

A bunny hopped by, noticed the link had gone stale,
The old pub path was missing, the download would fail.
One line was swapped, the /old/ now in place,
The tarball fetched cleanly, a hop and a grace.
