The Arch Linux team has once again been forced to respond to a distributed denial-of-service attack targeting its AUR repository infrastructure. As a result, DDoS protection has been enabled for aur.archlinux.org to help mitigate the ongoing disruption.

While this measure helps keep the AUR website accessible, it has introduced a significant side effect: pushing to the AUR is currently not possible.

If it's blocking AUR updates, it could be an attempt to keep some patches to certain exploits from going out? But it seems unlikely that the cost of a ddos is worth the tiny number of possibly vulnerable AUR users out there...
