Persistent AUR SSH maintenance error

Hi,

I have been experiencing a persistent server-side issue for several days when trying to interact with the AUR via SSH.

SSH authentication succeeds (ssh -T aur@aur.archlinux.org), but any further Git or SSH command systematically fails with:
The AUR is down due to maintenance. We will be back soon.

Since the web interface is fully functional and my account ViGA-FR is active, this seems to be a stuck backend lock or maintenance state on the server side.

Could an administrator or Trusted User please look into this and reset the backend state for my account?

Thank you!

Vince (ViGA-FR)

Bummer and I was trying to push a new package to the AUR.  Thought I was doing something wrong.  Or maybe I am?

Re: Persistent AUR SSH maintenance error

Due to malware influx, the AUR is basically read-only, currently. You are doing nothing wrong, we just have to wait for AUR to reopen

Re: Persistent AUR SSH maintenance error

I'm an AUR contributor myself and I'm experiencing the same issue. Of course I thought we had to wait but apparently there are AUR contributors that still are able to update in some way. See the recent updates:

Re: Persistent AUR SSH maintenance error

The updates that occurred since the AUR disabling updates were made by package maintainers (read: Arch staff). They're still able to maintain AUR packages, while we wait for them to put together mitigations that'd allow the AUR to reopen fully.

Not sure about eclairevoyant but https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Antiz doesn't count
