Spark started failing in Heroku push - github error - Desperate

Hi,

So, I have been using spark for several months on a project. A few days ago, the heroku build started failing with the error :

Installing laravel/spark (v1.0.14) Downloading: Failed Failed to download laravel/spark from dist: The "https://api.github.com/repos/laravel/spark/zipball/ac06613a5e7781132a046aea7f3fe4bccc3d6d90" file could not be downloaded (HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found)

Failed to execute git clone --no-checkout 'https://:@github.com/laravel/spark.git' '/tmp/build_c22ad83fa670d6a45bfd32e494d97c8a/vendor/laravel/spark' && cd '/tmp/build_c22ad83fa670d6a45bfd32e494d97c8a/vendor/laravel/spark' && git remote add composer 'https://:@github.com/laravel/spark.git' && git fetch composer remote: Cloning into '/tmp/build_c22ad83fa670d6a45bfd32e494d97c8a/vendor/laravel/spark'... remote: remote: Repository not found.

I tried upgrading to the newest version but that failed too. I have no idea why it started failing and I have tried contacting spark and just about everyone else I could think of.

This literally could not have happened at a worst time. I took a 5 day holiday and the wife took the kids away so that I could marathon the completion of a project and now I am just screaming at the screen because software that has worked for months is no longer connecting. I really need this fixed ASAP.

I found a discussion with the same errors here:

https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/spark/spark-install-fails-to-production-server

This is the exact error I am having and I linked my account to github, but this makes no sense to me. Why is this nowhere in installation? Doing this still did not fix the problem.

Thanks
