As some of you may have noticed.
The Arch Linux resources including the AUR, their forums, websites, and mirrors, have all experienced some amount of downtime during the last few days.
The general thought right now is that it is part of some sort of DDoS campaign.
Some measures have been put in to place and restored service to some things, like the AUR, while other services seem to continue exhibiting symptoms.
Sadly this will mean that some users will experience disruptions in their ability to install Cachy or upgrade their systems.
It may be advisable to wait until this situation has calmed down before attempting mirror sorting, package exchanges, or fresh OS installations.

I guess that explains what’s going on with my technical issue…
