Changes since last release

From CHANGELOG.md, 2026-07-28:

Arch / Manjaro: install from our own signed pacman repository

The claude-desktop-bin AUR package was deleted by the AUR maintainers after a third party filed a duplicate-package request against it. Rather than return to the AUR, Arch and Manjaro users are now served by our own pacman repository, matching how we already ship to Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora/RHEL:

curl -fsSL https://patrickjaja.github.io/claude-desktop-bin/install-pacman.sh | sudo bash
sudo pacman -Syu claude-desktop-bin

Packages and the repository database are GPG-signed with the same key as the APT and RPM repos (SigLevel = Required DatabaseRequired) and hosted as GitHub release assets. Updates arrive with sudo pacman -Syu; AUR helpers wrap pacman, so yay -Syu keeps working. Because flat release assets cannot express per-arch directories, the repo section is [claude-desktop-bin] on x86_64 and [claude-desktop-bin-aarch64] on aarch64 - the package name is claude-desktop-bin on both. The README documents the manual pacman.conf stanza for anyone who prefers not to pipe a script into sudo bash.

Building from source stays supported for users who avoid third-party repositories: the PKGBUILD is still generated and CI-tested on every release, and it is now published as a release asset along with .SRCINFO and claude-desktop-bin.install, so makepkg -si works without an AUR clone.

The AUR push step has been removed from the release workflow.

install-pacman.sh runs pacman-key --init before importing the key. A normal Arch install already has the keyring's local signing key, but containers, chroots and wiped keyrings do not, and without it --lsign-key fails with a cryptic "There is no secret key available to sign with".
