DESCRIPTION="Claude Code - Anthropic's agentic coding CLI (prebuilt native binary)"
HOMEPAGE="https://code.claude.com/"
# Single self-contained native binary published per-release at
# https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-code-releases/<ver>/<platform>/claude
# (platform linux-x64 = glibc x86_64). The install.sh installer downloads
# exactly this artifact and verifies it against
# .../<ver>/manifest.json -> platforms["linux-x64"].checksum. We rename the
# bare "claude" object to a versioned distfile name.
SRC_URI="https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-code-releases/${PV}/linux-x64/claude -> ${P}"
LICENSE="Anthropic-Claude-Terms"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~amd64"
RESTRICT="strip mirror bindist"
QA_PREBUILT="opt/claude-code/*"
# Self-contained (Bun-compiled) executable; only needs the C library at
# runtime. Kept minimal deliberately.
RDEPEND=">=sys-libs/glibc-2.34"
S="${WORKDIR}"
# The distfile is a raw ELF executable, not an archive - skip unpack.
