Pamac fails to synchronise due unacceptable TLS certificate

There are too many requests for those AUR databases. Here the last 24h of traffic you guys generate just for that:

Remember that those DBs are just 8 MB in size.

Here a traffic snapshot for the last 30 days just for AUR DB files:

Certificates are all valid:

AUR, Download and Mirrors use the same as our main homepage.

So why do I get those errors?

CDN works like this:

  • we have one storage server which gets every 10 Minutes a new DB file from the Arch server
  • we purge the files every 15 mins from all CDN nodes
  • CDN nodes will fetch the updated DB files from the storage server and cache them again

If you hit a node which is in progress to purge the file you hit an error page. pamac should in that case ignore the error and try to fetch that file again. I assume if you retry to fetch the file you won’t have that error. You only wonder why you have that error and complain.
