Problem
Splitrail currently documents downloading binaries from GitHub Releases or building from source with Cargo. On Arch Linux, there does not appear to be an AUR package for Splitrail, so installation and updates require manual downloads/builds instead of the normal Arch package workflow.
I checked the AUR package search for splitrail on 2026-05-29 and did not find a package.
Proposed solution
Please consider adding official or project-maintained AUR package support, for example:
splitrail-bin, using the published GitHub release tarballs and checksums.- Optionally
splitrail-git or a source-built splitrail package for users who prefer building from source.
- README installation instructions for Arch users, such as
yay -S splitrail-bin, paru -S splitrail-bin, or makepkg -si from the AUR package.
Why this helps
AUR support would make Splitrail easier to install, update, and remove on Arch-based systems, and would fit the package-management workflow Arch users already expect.
