Do you have permission from your employer to user their infrastructure (eg: computers, network) to work on contributions to ArchLinux?
If not, they *may* own the IP related to the PKGBUILDs, or any extra scripts you include (in most jurisdictions, if you write a 15 line script, it's copyrighted automatically). I suggest that you carefully study this, and similar scenarios.
So, if you have permission, asking for them to open SSH should be trivial. If not, then stop creating tainted contributions at work.
If you had bothered to read the entire thread, you should have noticed that the OP has already answered this question.
I'm rather sure that he never actually said that maintaining the AUR package was part of his job, just avoided the question by saying that he worked on the software. (Though I'm too lazy to check now.) -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 0x50FB9B273A9D0BB5 https://theos.kyriasis.com/~kyrias/
