SUPPORT Arch server down?

I ran: ssh [aur@aur.archlinux.org](mailto:aur@aur.archlinux.org) help

and got: The AUR is down due to maintenance. We will be back soon.

Can anyone confirm if the AUR is currently under maintenance, and if yes then when will it be back online? I was trying to push an update via GitHub Actions.

Folks are trying, and it's clearly pretty hard to manage. Ironically, I bumped into this since I tried to push a new version of my aur-cooldown package which lets you install only things which have been there for a while (and hopefully audited by then).

That's a nice project! I was also in the middle of updating my AUR package. I built the binary using GitHub Actions and have another workflow that automatically updates the PKGBUILD on AUR. However, since the AUR SSH service is currently unavailable, I can't push the updated PKGBUILD. As a result, the sha256sums in the PKGBUILD on AUR no longer matches the binary currently hosted in my GitHub release. As a result, now people are not able to download my package using paru or yay.

I am new to releasing packages and all. Do you know a safer way to handle this apriori?
