Could you consider adding clipboard tools to optdepends? Claude Code's image paste on Linux shells out to xclip / wl-paste (it tries xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -o first, then falls back to wl-paste --type image/png — visible in the strings of the binary). Without them, pasting an image just reports that the clipboard contains no image, which is confusing. Suggested:

optdepends+=('wl-clipboard: paste images from clipboard on Wayland'
             'xclip: paste images from clipboard on X11')

@imrehg We previously checksummed the license, but it is not versioned and frequently changes, breaking the package build until someone notices and reports it.

Any strong reasons why the checksums are skipped for the license file? IMHO that should be checksummed as well, since license changes are also material for the package usage.

AUR packages and packages in general doesn't and should never touch the user's home.

Upon launching Claude Code, a notification pops up on the right saying that .local/bin/claude cannot be found.

I've noticed that the official installation script creates a symbolic link for .local/bin/claude (e.g., .local/bin/claude -> /home/username/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.123*), but this AUR package doesn't do that.

For non-free software, if the sources are not available, the -bin suffix should not be used.

Hi @maxemann96 - thanks for the heads up. Fixed.

The official installation script now does not use the bucket url anymore (under the hood it's also a google storage IP), but now uses https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-code-releases/${pkgver}/${platform}/claude. Would be happy to see this reflected in the PKGBUILD. Thanks for your work :)

Thanks for asking.

Under the AUR submission guidelines, packages that use prebuilt deliverables should normally use the -bin, which makes the packaging model explicit.

I agree that the installed program is effectively the same, and this is not intended as a downstream fork or feature-different variant.

The reason I chose a separate claude-code-bin package is to provide a clearly named binary package with a maintainer-side automation pipeline:

https://github.com/fabifont/claude-code-bin

There are also a few packaging differences. This package installs the binary under /usr/lib/claude-code rather than /opt, uses a pinned upstream LICENSE.md source with a checksum instead of SKIP, declares provides=('claude-code=...') and conflicts=('claude-code'), and keeps the PKGBUILD/.SRCINFO update flow automated on the maintainer side.

I'm open to coordinating if the preferred outcome is co-maintenance, a rename/merge path, or another arrangement that avoids confusion.

Why was this created as an almost exact copy of the existing claude-code package?
