Build fails fetching pcre-8.44.tar.bz2

[tmahlburg]

I'm trying to create a package for Void Linux and the build fails with the following error message:

https://ftp.pcre.org/pub/pcre/pcre-8.44.tar.bz2: Connection timed out
=> ERROR: pcre-8.44_1: failed to fetch pcre-8.44.tar.bz2.

I went to the PCRE homepage and there is no mention of this ftp server anymore, only their GitHub repository and the inofficial SourceForge mirror. I would just use the version packaged with Void Linux, but they are already at version 8.45, so the build script will still try to fetch the older version. Is there a way to build this anyway? Thanks for your help.
