#126 Linux packaging: AUR package; Flathub spike

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: kristofferR

Linux users get .deb/.rpm/AppImage plus the Homebrew tap, but no AUR or Flathub presence — the two places Linux users actually look. AUR is trivial (a PKGBUILD over the released .deb). Flathub would turn the 90 MB AppImage into a few MB against a shared runtime, directly serving the "small by design" pitch — but Tauri-on-Flatpak has WebKitGTK runtime-version friction, so treat it as a spike, not a commitment.

AUR shipped in [#149]. The carrier package repackages the released .deb (x86_64 + aarch64) so Arch users get the system-WebKitGTK build instead of the 90 MB AppImage, and the release workflow auto-publishes the PKGBUILD + .SRCINFO on every tag:

yay -S carrier

The Flathub half stays a spike (WebKitGTK-on-Flatpak runtime friction is unresolved) — tracking it under the parent epic [#135] rather than blocking this. Closing as the AUR deliverable is live.
