Are you asking if this tool can find something on ubuntu 26.04 when the urls it has were hardcoded 11 years ago?

The URL to search for packages in Ubuntu for example hasn't changed to my knowledge. Are you assuming it's only looking for packages in releases that were current at the time?

The site it hardcodes is https://packages.ubuntu.com, so yes I would expect it to work fine
