Arch Linux - News: Recent service outages
Arch Linux takes a pounding as DDoS attack enters week two — For now, the Arch team is working to mitigate the attack's impact, which highlights a bootstrapping issue. Tools designed to shift traffic to mirrors in the event the main infrastructure is unavailable rely on a mirror list obtained from that same main infrastructure.
DHH on X — "Omarchy 2.0 release might have to wait a little longer. The AUR DDoS attack has picked back up, but the upside is that we're building in all sorts of resilience for the installer to deal with the assault! And meanwhile, we'll build a complete Omarchy package mirror for all.
DHH on X — "We're pulling AUR out of the Omarchy install hotpath. It's an incredible resource, but we actually only need a handful of packages for the initial setup, and we can just host those ourselves. AUR really needs a new mirror strategy to avoid this predicament."
Arch Linux continues to feel the force of a DDoS attack after two brutal weeks — attackers yet to be identified as project struggles to restore full service
