The developers of the Arch Linux distribution have reported a continuing DDoS attack since August 16, causing some project services to be intermittently unavailable. There are issues with the main website, the AUR repository, Wiki, forum, and GitLab platform. Details about the technical aspects of the attack and the protective measures taken have not yet been disclosed, as the attack is still ongoing.
In case the primary repositories are unavailable, it is recommended to use the mirrors listed in the pacman-mirrorlist package. To download ISO images, use mirrors as well and remember to verify the integrity of the downloaded data with the digital signature. If the aur.archlinux.org repository is down, you can download the package code via a GitHub mirror using the command: git clone —branch —single-branch https://github.com/archlinux/aur.git
