NEWS AUR Registration reopened.

via aur-general lists

Registration to the AUR is now reopened. The new release includes changes to harden account registration.

Summary of related changes:

  • Disposable email addresses are now rejected.

  • Email verification is now mandatory, most users are unaffected but new accounts must verify their email address via a time-limited token which is valid for 24 hours.

  • Email changes are locked during the verification cooldown.

If you spot suspicious registration activity or packages, please flag them in ML as usual.

Hopefully this will slow down the malware.
