Concern: this PKGBUILD tracks an unpinned main branch and executes its install.sh during prepare(). That means future upstream changes can run arbitrary code during build, and some packaged helper scripts may later run via pacman hooks as root. Please consider pinning a commit/tag or otherwise making the build source reproducible.

@wimpy @DavidCarliez The package is updated: 26.814.41407-1 is now on the AUR.

The failure wimpy hit was exactly the upstream change: ilysenko/codex-desktop-linux no longer converts the macOS DMG and instead repackages OpenAI's official Linux build, fetched as a signed deb from their APT repository. The old PKGBUILD's pkgver() was reading a build-info key (upstreamDmg) that no longer exists.

The PKGBUILD now follows the new flow end to end. Note the build dependencies changed: dpkg and gnupg are new makedepends, while 7zip, unzip, npm and cargo are no longer needed. Runtime dependencies were realigned with the official deb's own Depends field. Your AUR helper will pick all of this up from the updated .SRCINFO; if a rebuild still misbehaves in a stale clone, retry with a clean one (e.g. paru -Sc / remove the cached clone first).

Future updates should flow automatically again: version bumps now track OpenAI's Linux APT repository directly.
