Arch Linux

Seems like a local problem, given that you say it's been a "few days" and there's been no shortage of updates to the AUR from other users.

What's the full command you're running? Are you behind a firewall? Can you ping the address?

It doesn't look like local problem. I experience this on multiple machines in different locations.

Mark Weiman also wrote on AUR-General:
I'm getting large delays too. I only noticed today, but I haven't really checked since last Thursday.

I have tried connecting from server placed in datacentre in Prague:

# time git fetch

real 0m20.741s
user 0m0.022s
sys 0m0.004s

It doesn't failed, but 20 secs for fetch of small repo with 5 commits is a lot.

For a couple of days, the configuration options used to omit "have" lines did not work due to a recent Git upgrade on luna. It should be fixed now, though. Can you still reproduce this behavior?

Yes, I'm still getting long delays or timeouts. Tried with git 2.7.3 and 1.7.10.4.

for me, connect for git push is too slow

Long delays also on server in Munich (GlobalAccess datacentre) - 25.592s and in Hluboka nad Vltavou (Wedos datacentre) - 18.853s.

Could you please give some more details? Which repository does this happen with? Are you cloning via SSH or via HTTPs? Does it also happen with a fresh clone?

*Psst* Eli Schwartz said that line you said I said.

Regardless, it's not very quick to clone or push, but I'm not experiencing any time-outs. I've noticed that pushes have been slow for a while now, but clones have now joined in on the fun (within the last week). My main issue was in  FS#48593 , which appears to be fixed.

The missing HEAD ref is now fixed, (thanks!), but fresh clones are still slow. And for that matter, so is fetch/ls-remote/etc
And come to think of it, I too have noticed pushing is rather slow for a while. (It isn't as noticeable, when you are splitting a subtree first, every time.)
The fetch/clone is new, I think.

All over SSH -- because I have an SSH alias for "aur", so it saves so much typing that way, whyever not...

Lukas: It happens on all repos I have tested, but it only happens via SSH, HTTPs works fine (fast).
It happens on fetch, push and clone.

Any update about this? Timeouts still appear, only 1 of 5 attempts works for me.

$ git clone ssh+git://aur@aur.archlinux.org/python2-pypdf.git
Cloning into 'python2-pypdf'...
Timeout, server aur.archlinux.org not responding.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Now it looks working properly again.
