claude-code (RPM / container packaging)

This repo packages Anthropic's official Claude Code CLI as:

• a Fedora RPM (claude-code.spec), and
• a container image built from that RPM (Containerfile), published to ghcr.io/akdev1l/claude-code.

It does not contain Claude Code's source — it downloads the official pre-built claude binary for the target architecture and wraps it in standard Fedora packaging.

Layout

• claude-code.spec — RPM spec. Declares the current version and pulls the matching pre-built binary from downloads.claude.ai for x86_64 or aarch64, then installs it to /usr/bin/claude. No compilation happens; the binary is installed as-is (debug package / stripping disabled).
• Containerfile — multi-stage build: stage one uses fedpkg to build the RPM from the spec inside fedora-minimal, stage two installs that RPM into a fresh fedora-minimal image. ENTRYPOINT runs /usr/bin/claude.
• build.sh — builds the container image locally with podman build, tagging it claude-code:latest and claude-code:<version> (version read from the spec file). Respects FEDORA_RELEASE (default 44).
• claude — wrapper shell script to podman run the built image, mounting ~/.config/claude (as /root/.claude and /root/.claude.json) and the current directory (as /project) into the container, so Claude Code's config/auth persists across runs and operates on the local project.
• ci/claude.metadata.sh — standalone helper (not used by the RPM/container build) that queries downloads.claude.ai for the latest Claude Code version, manifest, and per-architecture checksums, and prints them as JSON.
• ci/claude.versionbump.sh — runs claude.metadata.sh and, if a newer version is available, updates Version: in claude-code.spec, the checksums in SOURCES, and adds a %changelog entry (using the spec's existing Release number — bumping Release itself is a manual, spec-revision-only step).
• SOURCES — recorded SHA256 checksums of the downloaded per-arch binaries.
• .github/workflows/build.yml — CI: on push to f44 or rawhide, builds the image via build.sh and pushes latest, <version>, and a date tag to GHCR.

Usage

Build the image:

./build.sh

Run Claude Code from the built image against the current directory:

./claude

Updating the packaged version

./ci/claude.versionbump.sh

This fetches the latest metadata, and — if it's newer than the version currently in claude-code.spec — updates Version:, SOURCES, and the %changelog. Then rebuild with ./build.sh.
