[AUR] Unauthenticated git protocol not allowed

[gigaSproule]

When installing with the AUR package, I get an error about the git protocol no longer being supported by GitHub for unauthenticated access, directing me to https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/. By changing the source to git+https://github.com/AlexPoilrouge/NordVPN-connect.git, it fixed it and installed perfectly fine.

Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to be reporting this, but I couldn't see a more appropriate place.

I have also see the same error this morning when I ran yay to update the package.

The error seems to e related to the way Github handles authentication keys:

https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/

We’re changing which keys are supported in SSH and removing unencrypted Git protocol. Specifically we are:

• Removing support for all DSA keys
• Adding requirements for newly added RSA keys
• Removing some legacy SSH algorithms (HMAC-SHA-1 and CBC ciphers)
• Adding ECDSA and Ed25519 host keys for SSH
• Turning off the unencrypted Git protocol

Output from running Yay to update from the AUR:
