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

Non English package details
by Ramadan Ali 10 Sep '25

10 Sep '25

Hi, Is there any rules/policy about packages with non English details in AUR? Recently I came across many packages that have non English descriptions and I can't understand what the packages does or provide, and I got curious about the policy regarding this issue. Cheers, Ramadan Ali (alicavus)

I have been bugging Martin to join the staff as a package maintainer for years now. Not only he has been super helpful to a lot of Arch users, but he opens a ton of issues and contribute to a lot of projects. One being pipewire, for example. I confirm my sponsorship.

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

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.
