What to do when the AUR is down

From time to time the AUR, like any website, goes down.

When that happens, there is a simple, three point checklist you can follow:

1. Check that it is not just a local issue with downforeveryoneorjustme. If it is just you, then troubleshoot your machine/network/typing skills. If it appears to be global, proceed to point two.

2. Do not, under any circumstances, open a thread here. If AUR (or any Arch site is down), rest assured someone is working hard to bring it up. If you have reason to believe that you may have discovered this outage, check on IRC or the ML to see if it has been mentioned. At this point, remain calm and do not panic; proceed in an orderly fashion to point three.

3. If you must have access to unsupported software, you can always take the time to learn how to write a PKGBUILD to free yourself from the tyranny of reliance on the AUR. Then, when it does come back up, you can contribute your own which, rest assured, will in due course be unavailable to some pooor soul next time the AUR is down. This is the wheel of life...

Re: What to do when the AUR is down

Looks like AUR Git server is down

➜  ~ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/google-chrome.git
Cloning into 'google-chrome'...
remote: Not Found
fatal: repository 'https://aur.archlinux.org/google-chrome.git/' not found

The same is for any AUR package.
