DSH Desktop 0.7.1-linux.2 (Linux x64)

Linux x64 build of DSH Desktop, based on upstream v0.7.1.

Upstream ships macOS and Windows only. This fork adds Linux packaging and the fixes needed to get there.

dsh-desktop-linux-x86_64.AppImage	Runs on any distribution, no installation

Changes since 0.7.1-linux.1

• The project's own MIT notice now ships in the build. MIT asks that the copyright notice travel with every copy, and the packaged app carried Electron's, Chromium's and the LGPL text but not DataElement's. Not Linux-specific: the macOS and Windows artifacts have the same gap.
• katex's build scripts are excluded. They never run, and they made the package read as needing Python and Perl.

Changes since 0.6.3-linux.1

• Rebased onto upstream v0.7.1. The bundled Harness moves from 0.1.1-rc.2, pulled from the registry, to 0.1.2-alpha.1, vendored as a local tarball.
• Dropped a patch fix that upstream resolved on their own during the version bump.
• Removed upstream's release workflow. It triggers on v* tags, which is what a Linux release is tagged, and would start a macOS and Windows signing pipeline that has none of its secrets here.

Arch Linux

Install the attached package with sudo pacman -U, or build from the recipe in packaging/arch/ with makepkg -si. The recipe sets the Chromium sandbox helper setuid, supplies the desktop entry and icon the tarball does not carry, and installs to /opt/dsh-desktop.

Not on the AUR: new-account registration has been closed since the 2026 supply-chain attacks. The recipe is kept in the layout an AUR repository expects.

Known limitations

• Automatic updates are off. There is no Linux update feed, so Check for Updates reports that rather than failing. Upgrade by installing the next artifact.
• The tray, the custom title bar, and close-to-tray remain Windows-only. A Linux window uses the native frame and the native application menu, and closing it quits the app.
• Building the pacman target on Arch needs libxcrypt-compat; the bundled fpm ships a Ruby linked against libcrypt.so.1.
• Phone pairing was not exercised against this Harness version. The local Harness URL now carries a ?token= parameter that it did not before.

DSH Desktop 0.6.3-linux.1 (Linux x64)

Linux x64 build of DSH Desktop, based on upstream master after v0.6.3.

Upstream ships macOS and Windows only. This build adds Linux packaging and the fixes needed to get there.

Arch Linux

Install the attached package directly with sudo pacman -U, or build it from the recipe in packaging/arch/ with makepkg -si. The recipe sets the Chromium sandbox helper setuid, supplies the desktop entry and icon that the tarball does not carry, and installs to /opt/dsh-desktop.

This is not on the AUR: new-account registration has been closed since the 2026 supply-chain attacks. The recipe is kept in the layout an AUR repository expects.

What is in this build

• Linux packaging targets, with desktopName and syncDesktopName set so a running window matches its launcher instead of showing a second, iconless entry.
• A fix for the patch-package failure that broke npm ci on every platform: the Open in Finder change shipped as a patch named for 0.1.0-rc.8 while the pinned dependency is 0.1.1-rc.2, so it failed and took the four patches after it down with it.
• LICENSE.lgpl-3.0.txt and THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md at the application root. sharp bundles a prebuilt libvips under the LGPL and ships no license text of its own; these cover it and name the corresponding source.

Known limitations

• Automatic updates are off. There is no Linux update feed, so Check for Updates reports that rather than failing. Upgrade by installing the next artifact.
• The tray, the custom title bar, and close-to-tray remain Windows-only. A Linux window uses the native frame and the native application menu, and closing it quits the app.
• Building the pacman target on Arch needs libxcrypt-compat; the bundled fpm ships a Ruby linked against libcrypt.so.1.
