…itories Linux users only get an AppImage. It has no app menu entry or command on PATH, it needs FUSE, and on Ubuntu 24.04 it needs --no-sandbox. After each stable and nightly release, a new workflow repackages the published AppImage as a .deb and .rpm for x64 and arm64 with nFPM and attaches them to the release. Nothing is compiled, so the release build jobs do not change. The packages install the app to /opt with a setuid Chromium sandbox, a desktop entry, and icons. They also add a signed apt or dnf repository at pkg.t3.codes, so apt upgrade and dnf upgrade deliver later versions. pkg.t3.codes is a Cloudflare Worker in front of an R2 bucket that holds only the signed index files. Package downloads redirect to GitHub Releases, and apt and dnf check each file against the SHA-256 in the signed index. The download page, README, and install guide list the new packages.

publish-linux-packages workflow to set persist-credentials to false, while
preserving the existing sparse-checkout configuration and explicit GH_TOKEN
authentication.
- Around line 56-60: Update the setup check in the workflow’s run block to
include CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID alongside LINUX_PACKAGES_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY and
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, sourcing it from vars.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID in the step
environment so the workflow skips when the account ID is unset.
In `@infra/packages/src/worker.ts`:
- Line 42: Update the URL key decoding in the worker request handler to catch
URIError from decodeURIComponent and return the existing 404 “Not found”
response before invoking Bucket.head or Bucket.get. Keep valid-path decoding and
subsequent R2 access unchanged.
In `@packaging/linux/README.md`:
- Line 15: Update the documented command path in the Linux packaging README to
include both /usr/bin/t3code and /usr/bin/t3code-nightly, so users can launch
either installed package.

+1 from me very happy when this will sit in upstream and if you need any input let me know |
On Linux deb, rpm, and AUR installs, APPIMAGE is unset, so automatic updates are off. The only reason said the AppImage was required, and the sidebar and settings tooltips still said "Up to date" or "Check for updates". The updater now reads the electron-builder package-type marker in resourcesPath and picks a reason that names the package manager and the upgrade command. The disabled state carries that reason in message, and the sidebar tooltip and aria-label show it. The AUR PKGBUILDs write the pacman marker. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The publish job no longer leaves its write token in the checkout while it runs wrangler, and it skips cleanly when CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID is unset. The pkg.t3.codes Worker returns 404 for malformed percent-encoding instead of 500. The packaging README names the nightly command. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Dispatching an older release_tag after more than five releases evicts a newer version from the repository metadata, so the channel no longer contains its five newest versions. publish-repos.sh retains the first five records without sorting by version, while this step prepends the dispatched tag's packages to the existing index; reject historical tags or make the index update sort and retain the newest five versions.

Deb and RPM installs return the generic no update feed message instead of the apt/dnf instructions, because those packages omit app-update.yml, making hasUpdateFeedConfig false and causing an early return before the Linux package check. Allow packaged Linux installs with a non-null linuxPackageType to reach getLinuxPackageUpdateReason while preserving the existing checks for other installs.

Linux users only get an AppImage. It has no app menu entry or command on
PATH, it needs FUSE, and on Ubuntu 24.04 it needs--no-sandbox. People have asked for a.debsince #298, and at least seven community PRs tried to add one.This PR ships signed
.deband.rpmpackages plus apt and dnf repositories atpkg.t3.codes, without touching the release build jobs.How it works
/opt/t3codewith/usr/bin/t3code, a desktop entry, and icons.chrome-sandboxis setuid root, so the app starts with the sandbox on under Ubuntu 24.04's user namespace rule.sudo apt install ./t3code_*.debonce,apt upgradedelivers later versions.dnfworks the same way. This is the same setup the Chrome and VS Code packages use.pkg.t3.codesis a Cloudflare Worker in front of an R2 bucket (infra/packages). The bucket holds only the signed index files. Package downloads redirect to GitHub Releases, and apt and dnf check every file against the SHA-256 in the signed index.Not live until setup
Until setup is done, the workflow skips with a warning, so releases behave as they do today. The steps are in
packaging/linux/README.md:packaging/linux/t3code-archive-keyring.asc.LINUX_PACKAGES_GPG_PRIVATE_KEYsecret. Check thatCLOUDFLARE_API_TOKENhas R2 edit, Workers edit, andt3.codesDNS edit access.vp run --filter t3code-packages deploy --stage prod.*.t3.codescurrently has a wildcard CNAME to Vercel, and the Worker custom domain replaces it forpkgonly.Verification
All tests ran in clean containers, against a local server that stands in for
pkg.t3.codesand uses the same redirect design. Test key only.apt upgradeokapt upgradeokapt upgradeokdnf upgradeok, RPM signature okdnf upgradeok, RPM signature okinfra/packages: Worker tests and typecheck pass. I did not deploy it.In-app update message
Package installs have no
APPIMAGE, so the app's own updater is off. Before this change, it only said "Automatic updates on Linux require running the AppImage build." Now the app readsresources/package-typeand names the right command:sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade,sudo dnf upgrade, or the AUR helper. The AUR PKGBUILDs now write apacmanmarker. The sidebar and Settings tooltips and remote update requests show the same text. Tests cover each marker case.Related
