4 months ago The issue was originally mistaken for YAY-specific problem, turns out the error was related to the fact that the AUR portal simply returned 404 Not Found error on visit.
Original comment
I forgot to check if AUR portal was even online... Turns out it isn't.
Trying to visit AUR portal leads to a 404 Not Found error / nginx
Update
The portal returned 404 Not Found prior, but now it clearly states that the website is under maintenance. So yay should cover BOTH cases, when the portal returns 404 Not Found AND when the website is under maintenance.
The website's HTML for when it's under maintenance:
