Pushing to the AUR currently not possible
by gromit 27 Oct '25

27 Oct '25

Hello everyone, as we were the target of yet another DDoS attack we have enabled DDoS protection for aur.archlinux.org, which does not yet properly handle incoming connections on port 22 (yet). We are working with our provider to resolve this issue but wanted to ensure service reachability for everyone in the meantime. Please check https://status.archlinux.org/ for updates on the situation! Cheers, Chris for the Arch Linux DevOps Team

Request comment on PKGBUILD changes to mongodb44 to remove libboost_system references from Scons files
by David C Rankin 24 Oct '25

24 Oct '25

AUR Wizards, With upstream's removal of libboost_system I needed to remove the Scons config making use of the library. Instead of patching the files, I simply used a couple of sed expressions to handle the issue from the PKGBUILD (there were many others there when I stepped in as the maintainer) I want to know if it matters, and whether patches are preferred, or if handling a couple of removals via sed or awk is okay. I added the following to handle the changes: # delete libboost_system references from scons due to removal # from boost/boost-libs upstream in ver. 1.89. sed -i '/^boostLibs =/s/, "system"//' SConstruct sed -i '348d' src/third_party/SConscript Builds fine, only complaint is it has to serial link instead of using the requested lto link, which I see with some other packages as well. Anyway, if there is a preference to patch instead of use sed, I can clean that up on the next commit, but I am curious if there is a preference or if either/or is okay. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Re: Free DDOS Protection Tool
by Borna Punda 08 Oct '25

08 Oct '25

Greetings, I have been thinking. For all that it's worth, it might be best to decouple HTTP and SSH AUR. We have already determined it will be very hard to protect SSH, but as discussed before, HTTP can be done by Cloudflare easily (either through Galileo or even the free plan). Best regards, Borna Punda

Free DDOS Protection Tool
by shresth paul 08 Oct '25

08 Oct '25

Hello Team, I hope you're doing well. So recently we noticed that the ARCH linux is facing a lot of DDOS attacks. What if we were to use Project Galileo to avoid these DDOS? This is completely free of cost by CloudFlare. Project Galileo | Cloudflare <https://www.cloudflare.com/galileo/> Thanks Shresth Paul Website: - Shresth Paul | Cybersecurity Professional <https://secbyshresth.github.io/Portfolio/>

Packages for Adoption
by Brian 01 Oct '25

01 Oct '25

Hi AUR Community, I’m giving up all the packages I maintain for adoption. Unfortunately, I don’t have any time to maintain them in the foreseeable future. You’ll noticed that quite a few of them have Dockerfiles. This is because I was doing my development work on a Mac. The image in those Dockerfiles is a custom image that I created which publishes a new version daily (https://github.com/brianrobt/archlinux-aurdev-docker-image) That process is completely automated, but if it should ever break, then I probably won’t have time to fix it. Anyway, most of you probably wouldn’t even use it to begin with since you’re developing on Arch, but I thought it’d be useful to know. I also have a GitHub repo where I’ve been keeping copies of the files on each AUR package (https://github.com/brianrobt/aur-pkgbuilds) I setup a bit of automation to perform package updates, but it’s doesn’t work with some of the packages and isn’t really “production-ready”. It may be useful for any new maintainers. Here are the packages that I’m orphaning: - alist - simplex-chat-bin - stable-diffusion.cpp-vulkan-git - nmctl - netclient - htmlhint - pixieditor-bin - python-nspektr - openmohaa-git - openmohaa - rocm-clang-ocl - rot8-git - outwiker - arduino-avr-core - rapidyaml - python-rapidyaml - gradle-language-server - python-mouseinfo I greatly appreciated and enjoyed working with the other AUR maintainers. It was a great experience, and I hope that I can return to the community sooner rather than later. Thank you for all of the help and support! — Best regards, Brian Thompson DevOps/SRE | Open Source Developer St. Peters, MO, USA

Problem generating the telegraf package in a chroot
by Óscar García Amor 30 Sep '25

30 Sep '25

Hello folks, Let me tell you, I've been maintaining the Telegraf[1] package in AUR for some time now, and whenever I update it (or generate it), I have to do it in a container because it's not possible with the `extra-x86_64- build` command. If you look at the PKGBUILD, there is a point where the configuration is generated with the newly created binary itself. It is the last line of `build()`, `./build/telegraf config > telegraf.conf`. It is at this point that the execution stops completely if I build the package with `extra-x86_64-build`. Can you think of any reason why this might happen or how it could be fixed? This step is necessary because there is no other way to generate the base configuration. Best regards.

Request to adopt unlisted AUR packages
by Damian Höster 23 Sep '25

23 Sep '25

Hello, I would like to adopt the currently unlisted packages `google-gemini-nativefier` and `anthropic-claude-nativefier`. They were maintained by amaxcz until few weeks ago, `openai-chatgpt-nativefier` still is. I had used those packages for quite a long time, and recently noticed that they had vanished from the AUR, only the repositories remained. I already modified the PKGBUILDs to my liking. Not sure if this is the right place to go to, but I couldn't find any information on what to do in such a situation from the Arch Wiki. My username is damian101 on the AUR as well. Kind regards damian101

What is the business behind many sandboxing package being deleted?
by concierge9156 23 Sep '25

23 Sep '25

Hi community, I’m an ordinary user who relies on the sandboxing packages from the AUR. To my surprise, a large number of these packages have been removed and the maintainer now points us to a separate PKGBUILD repository. According to the AUR submission guidelines , the AUR (and official repos) are meant for “packages which install general software and software‑related content, including … configuration file(s).” Sandbox packages are precisely configuration files that provide unique, valuable features for many users. When I asked the maintainer on Matrix for an explanation, she replied simply: “Are you having the false sensation of AUR being free? I had that mistake before.” The wholesale deletion of these packages undermines the sandboxing community’s efforts and leaves countless users without essential tools. I request a clear, reasoned justification for this action and a reconsideration of the policy’s application to sandbox packages. Thank you. concierge9156

Erroneous Merge Request
by HurricanePootis 17 Sep '25

17 Sep '25

Hello, I am the maintainer for citron and citron-git. Someone erroneously made a merge request—to merge citron into citron git—because they don't understand how tag sources work and it caused confusion (and they didn't even comment for clarification). It is incredibly stressful situation, knowing that I could potentially have my work be messed with. Is there anything I can do to dispute requests? Or, I wished AUR maintainers could reply to request. It seems like there is no centralized place to discuss specific requests, leaving details to be lost in comments, etc. From, HurricanePootis

AUR is inaccessible from Turkey—a misconfiguration?
by Ahmet 26 Aug '25

26 Aug '25

For the last few hours, many users from Turkey—including myself—have reported issues in accessing to the AUR. After realizing that it had been accessible with a VPN, we have checked out local government blocklists (<https://www.usom.gov.tr/adres> and <https://internet.btk.gov.tr/sitesorgu/>) where the aur.archlinux.org subdomain is not listed. And, a government block in Turkey would not return ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED either, it would be a landing page. I am suspecting a misconfiguration on server-side. Can anyone check it? Best regards,

How can we help with the recent AUR outages?
by David Heinemeier Hansson 18 Aug '25

18 Aug '25

AUR seems to have had some very rough days this week. Uncharacteristically so. I've only been in the Arch world for a short time, but I'd really like to help sort whatever is going on out, if at all possible. If the AUR servers are straining, I'm sure I can marshal some resources to have those expanded. If it's because there's an attack, I already have a commitment from the Cloudflare CTO to help protect against it. I'm not sure who to reach out to in order to deliver assistance, resources, or whatever is needed, though. Again, I'm quite new here in the Arch world, but I'm incredibly motivated to help resolve whatever is plaguing the server farm. Thanks in advance for everything all of those working on this and the rest of the Arch infrastructure does! ✌️

Cannot receive password reset email for new AUR account
by cilgin 17 Aug '25

Hello, I recently created a new account on the AUR (aur.archlinux.org) but I have not received the password reset email despite several attempts. I have checked my spam/junk folder. There is a chance that I might have mistyped my email address during registration. Also, I am using a Microsoft email address (Outlook/Hotmail), which I know sometimes causes issues with receiving automated messages. Could you please check if my account is registered with the correct email and help me receive the reset email or update my account if necessary? Username: "cilgin" Email: "cilgincc(a)outlook.com" Thank you very much for your help.

Error timeout or connection reset by peer

Hello... For a few days now, I've been having problems connecting to AUR, and I'd like to know if my IP was banned by you or if my ISP (Spectrum Internet) is meddling in my business. I understand they've been hit by a DDoS attack recently, so I don't know if this has any connection. But the funny thing is that if I use a VPN, it works. The errors I've received have been the following: $ yay -Ss localsend -> Error during AUR search: 1 error occurred: * request failed: Get "https://aur.archlinux.org/rcp?arg=localsend&by=name-desc&type=search&v=5": read tcp 192.168.x.x:51298->95.216.144.15:443: read: connection reset by peer.

Package Maintainer application
by Martin Rys 15 Aug '25

15 Aug '25

Hi, my name's Martin, you can more often find me under "C0rn3j". Professionally, I work as a DevOps, and in my free time I do things I've most recently stumbled upon, which usually has to do with FOSS. I've been using Arch for about a decade, I mostly hang out in the unofficial Telegram group*, which I help moderate. I sometimes contribute to the Wiki, send patches over GitLab when relevant, or otherwise participate in discussions if I happen to see anything I can add my two cents to. I've been maintaining a random assortment of things in the AUR, a lot of the times simply because I was using a package that the previous maintainer disowned, and I figured I might pick up the torch. Which brings me to why I want to become a PM - I would like to see some of the things I currently maintain in the official repositories, such as sc-controller** or Tauon**, and to help out with the maintenance in general. I use ALARM on some of my devices too, so I'd possibly like to help out with the porting efforts to Arch in the future, when that becomes relevant. I've attached links to my accounts and also my personal site below. My sponsors are Gian (grazzolini) and Tomaz Canabrava. Special thanks goes out to Muflone for additional packaging feedback. I think that covers everything necessary, have a good day and I hope you'll consider my application! * https://t.me/archlinuxgroup ** https://github.com/Taiko2k/Tauon ** https://github.com/C0rn3j/sc-controller https://aur.archlinux.org/account/c0rn3j https://gitlab.archlinux.org/c0rn3j https://github.com/C0rn3j https://gitlab.com/C0rn3j https://rys.rs/ - GPG key used for signing is also present here
