Note:

As a consequence, the GitHub Action
https://github.com/gcarreno/setup-lazarus also fails now. Trying to use it to install FPC+Lazarus results in an error

Error: getPackageList -- Request timeout: /packagelist.json

in GitHub Action workflow output. I guess because the action downloads https://packages.lazarus-ide.org/packagelist.json . Which, while it works in the normal browser (like Firefox) (with a considerable delay), but e.g. "wget" (with default timeouts) fails:

   $ wget https://packages.lazarus-ide.org/packagelist.json
   --2024-10-01 17:09:44--  https://packages.lazarus-ide.org/packagelist.json

( I understand this, I mean I'm writing above as just "FYI" for people who may be using https://github.com/gcarreno/setup-lazarus , like Castle Game Engine actions do. I was surprised today to see our GitHub Actions fail, but this explains it. I'm not "demanding" any action, sure you need to put limits to protect from DDOS. I'm just making a note to eventually relax these limits to at least enable the above wget again. )

Michalis

Hi, The Lazarus server is currently under heavy DDOS. This affects the Lazarus main site, the Lazarus packages, the Lazarus mailing list archives and the Lazarus+Freepascal forum. I've enabled a rate limiter so the sites should be available again (in the first few seconds it was active, it blocked 10k connection attempts) but it might have some side effects using the forum. I hope it gets over soon. Marc -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

Cloudflare offers DDOS protection even on the Free plan: https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/

It is easy to set up and works really well.
