Arch Linux package

Until CrewCode can be listed in the Arch User Repository (AUR), this repository ships a manual crewcode-bin PKGBUILD in packaging/arch. It downloads the official x86_64 Debian release artifact, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, and repackages its files as a native package managed by pacman. Arch does not install the Debian package directly.

Only x86_64 is currently supported because CrewCode does not yet publish a Linux ARM64 artifact.

Install

Install Arch's standard package-building tools if needed:

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git

Clone CrewCode, inspect the package recipe, then build and install it:

git clone https://github.com/OnPoint-Dev-Tools/crewcode.git
cd crewcode/packaging/arch
less PKGBUILD
makepkg -si

makepkg downloads the pinned CrewCode release and refuses to build if its checksum does not match. pacman installs the resulting crewcode-bin package. Launch CrewCode from the desktop application menu or run:

crewcode

Optional integrations such as an AI agent CLI must still be installed and authenticated separately.

Upgrade

Pull a repository revision containing an updated PKGBUILD and rebuild it:

cd crewcode
git pull --ff-only
cd packaging/arch
makepkg -si

Until the package reaches AUR, AUR helpers cannot discover upgrades automatically.

Uninstall

sudo pacman -Rns crewcode-bin

This removes application files managed by pacman. It does not remove the user's CrewCode configuration and data.

Maintainer release update

After publishing a stable GitHub release with a matching CrewCode-<version>-amd64.deb artifact:

  1. Set pkgver to the release version and reset pkgrel to 1.

  2. Replace sha256sums_x86_64 with the artifact's SHA-256 checksum. Never use SKIP for a release binary.

  3. Regenerate metadata from packaging/arch:

    makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO

  4. Run makepkg --cleanbuild, install the result, and verify both the desktop launcher and crewcode command.

  5. If available, run namcap PKGBUILD and namcap crewcode-bin-*.pkg.tar.zst and review its findings before committing.

When AUR account registration becomes available, the contents of packaging/arch can be pushed to the separate AUR Git repository for crewcode-bin.
