# claude-desktop-package
Repackages [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai) into signed RPMs for Fedora 43 & 44
and publishes them to the self-hosted dnf repo at `rpm.lair.cafe`.
Claude Desktop's in-app updater is macOS/Windows-only (Electron native
`autoUpdater`), so on Linux it never self-updates. Anthropic ships a Debian/apt
repo but no dnf repo; this repo is the Fedora equivalent, tracking upstream and
rebuilding automatically.
## How it works
- **poll-upstream** — every 6h, reads Anthropic's apt `Packages` index for the
latest version and dispatches a build if `rpm.lair.cafe` doesn't already have it.
- **build-release** — downloads and checksum-verifies the upstream `.deb`,
repackages the prebuilt Electron bundle as an RPM (`rpm/claude-desktop.spec`),
signs it, and publishes to fc43 + fc44 trees.
No app source lives here — only packaging. See `CLAUDE.md` for details.
## Install (Fedora)
Uses the shared `lair-cafe` dnf repo (same repo/GPG key as the other `lair`
packages). If you've already configured `lair-cafe.repo` on a host, just
`sudo dnf install claude-desktop`. Otherwise:
```bash
sudo rpm --import https://rpm.lair.cafe/8b2023ce.gpg
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/lair-cafe.repo > /dev/null <<'EOF'
[lair-cafe]
name=lair.cafe RPM Repository
baseurl=https://rpm.lair.cafe/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://rpm.lair.cafe/8b2023ce.gpg
EOF
sudo dnf install claude-desktop
```
Subsequent `dnf upgrade` picks up new Claude Desktop versions automatically.
## Runtime notes
If Chromium's sandbox misbehaves on a host with restricted user namespaces:
`claude-desktop --no-sandbox`, or `sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1`.
