MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ethminer-git [2]:

Discontinued since Apr 2022, repo archived. [a]

On Sep 15, 2022, the original Ethereum was replaced by the
incompatible Ethereum 2, which no longer requires coin mining because
it is based on proof-of-stake, not proof-of-work like Ethereum 1. [b]
Therefore old Ethereum tools like this one are no longer viable with
the current mainstream version.

(Though there is a community hard fork of this called etcminer, for
what is now dubbed "Ethereum Classic". [c] Not currently available on
AUR, but it would need a new package anyway due to the new name and
incompatible changes.)
