- install.sh: Replace awk float comparison with integer major/minor check
so Python 3.9 is correctly rejected as < 3.13
- nfpm.yaml: Add git/curl/wget as recommends so users have basic archiving
tools out of the box without needing `archivebox install`
- debian.yml: Restore git/curl/wget in CI smoke test to match what the
package recommends, instead of relying on runner preinstalls
- debian.yml: Guard release upload to skip gracefully when no GitHub
Release exists (fixes workflow_dispatch failures)

Remove all non-essential dependencies from both package formats.
The .deb now only depends on python3, pip, and venv. The brew
formula only depends on python@3.13. All other runtime deps
(node, chrome, yt-dlp, wget, ripgrep, etc.) are installed
on-demand by `archivebox install` at runtime.
Removed from brew formula:
- 6 depends_on entries (node, git, wget, curl, ripgrep, yt-dlp)
- on_linux block (pkg-config, openssl, libffi)
- post_install hook (was running archivebox install)
- service block (users run archivebox server directly)
Removed from .deb:
- 6 depends entries (nodejs, npm, git, wget, curl, ripgrep)
- recommends section (yt-dlp, ffmpeg, chromium)
Net: -126 lines across packaging files.

- systemd service: use /usr/bin/archivebox wrapper (exports venv PATH
for bundled tools like yt-dlp) instead of direct venv binary
- install.sh: prefer python3.13, fail early with clear error if < 3.13,
add comment clarifying the manual (unpinned) fallback behavior
- debian.yml release job: fall back to pyproject.toml version when
github.event.release.tag_name is empty (workflow_dispatch path)
- nfpm.yaml: clarify that install.sh enforces the real >= 3.13 constraint
- CI pre-seed step: expanded comment explaining why we pre-seed with
python3.13 and how it relates to real installs

- Pin cache-apt-pkgs-action to commit SHA for supply-chain safety
- Fix Homebrew post_install to use with_env block instead of env hash
in system() call (idiomatic Homebrew pattern)
- Add clarifying comments to service file, preremove.sh, and nfpm.yaml
explaining user/group creation, directory ownership, and upgrade handling
https://claude.ai/code/session_01Vx1EsNrNySgsc8Y67dGzCn
- Fix debian.yml: pin nfpm version, add permissions, improve test job
with user creation, init test, and status check
- Fix homebrew.yml: use PyPI JSON API (macOS-compatible, no grep -oP),
wait for PyPI availability on release, use generated formula not template,
add Linux (Linuxbrew) test job alongside macOS
- Add release.yml orchestrator: pip → deb + brew + docker in order
- Add workflow_call triggers to pip.yml and docker.yml
- Fix build_brew.sh: replace grep -oP with Python-based PyPI API,
add on_linux deps (pkg-config, openssl, libffi)
- Fix setup.sh: use GitHub API to find correct .deb download URL
(filename includes version number)
- Fix postinstall.sh: create archivebox system user, pin version from
package, check for systemd before daemon-reload
- Fix preremove.sh: stop service before removal, check for systemd
- Fix install.sh: fallback to latest if pinned version not on PyPI
- Add on_linux deps to brew formula for Linuxbrew support
- Tested: .deb builds, installs, creates user, runs archivebox init
https://claude.ai/code/session_01Vx1EsNrNySgsc8Y67dGzCn
- Add Homebrew formula (brew_dist/archivebox.rb) using virtualenv pattern
with auto-generation via homebrew-pypi-poet in bin/build_brew.sh
- Add Debian packaging via nFPM (pkg/debian/) with thin .deb that pip-installs
archivebox into /opt/archivebox/venv on postinstall
- Add build/release scripts: bin/{build,release}_{brew,deb}.sh
- Update CI workflows to build packages on release and test them
- Update README apt/brew install instructions with working commands
- Update bin/setup.sh to use .deb download instead of old Launchpad PPA
