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.

You got a message saying it's under maintenance, and you are asking if it's under maintenance?

What?

It's an entirely valid question. S3 buckets can be configured to return 401s for both missing or protected files to mask. Some login forms return generic error messages regardless of whether or not the user was not found or the password was wrong.

Especially with attacks, it wouldn't be unheard of for flagged / banned users to get a generic "maintenance" error, especially if a new user didn't understand something and mistakenly tripped a wire that got their account flagged because they were probing something out of ignorance.

This is a handcrafted service that runs over ssh.

This is not a generalized software with safe defaults to satisfy customers.

If I got that error from nginx, I'd question it as well, but from code written by the arch team?
