IMPORTANT!

Since version 19.1.3-2 this package will not download automatically the source file from the upstream site.

To build this package you will need to manually download the file from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion and place it in the same directory with the PKGBUILD.

This would reduce the mess in this package, making it more readable and clear. Also bypassing the required information from the upstream URL is not allowed in an automated way.

@Muflone

Correct, the convention is to require the user to download the source file and place it in the same directory with the PKGBUILD when it's not possible to download automatically, other packages like packettracer and some fonts packages do the same thing, due to license or any other reasons.

Muflone commented on 2025-02-02 00:43 (UTC)

Everyone please stop here, the PKGBUILD will never fetch the source binary files from your downloads folders because it's simply broken and wrong.

There's nothing to argue about English or xdg-utils. The actual way is the correct approach for a PKGBUILD which needs a file downloaded separately.

I've removed the hack to get the file from the website and won't introduce any other hack to get the file in any way, until the upstream author will provide a stable direct url

English is the lingua franca of technology, used in programming languages, system defaults, and technical documentation. This is a fact, not prejudice.

I never debated this. Again, read my texts.

Assuming it as a default is a practical decision, not an exclusionary one.

Because you say so? Where is proof that insisting on an English name for the download folder will "benefit the largest number of users"?

meyznu commented on 2025-02-01 18:17 (UTC)

Criticism is welcome, but resorting to victimization through unfounded accusations is counterproductive and unfair. In my view, such behavior should be discouraged, as it distracts from what really matters: improving the software and helping users.

Did you use ChatGPT to generate this? What "unfounded accusation"? I am usually very careful with my words and very persuasive in encouraging people to use words according to their meaning. Where did I call someone xenophobic? What are you talking about, goodness gracious? Return to my original text and read every word carefully. When I use words, I mean them EXACTLY as they are written.

@meyznu English is the lingua franca of technology, used in programming languages, system defaults, and technical documentation. This is a fact, not prejudice. Assuming it as a default is a practical decision, not an exclusionary one.

Accusing someone of xenophobia is a serious matter. Making false accusations of a crime is itself defamatory and diminishes real cases where xenophobia actually exists. Stop making this an issue where there is none.

On the technical side, yes, xdg-user-dir retrieves localized folder names, but not all systems have it installed, making it an unreliable universal solution. If you believe this should be handled differently, submit a patch that gracefully manages missing dependencies and provides a fallback.

Focus on solutions, not pointless debates.

decision that benefits the largest number of users

Is there any proof of what "benefits the largest number of users"? "English is the most widely used language" is not proof. ESL people can still prefer their native language for their system's locale. Assuming otherwise is a prejudice.

the best course of action is to contribute a more robust solution—perhaps a patch that dynamically determines the appropriate folder based on system settings.

The dynamic way to find the download folder is to run xdg-user-dir.

I have left it in /var/tmp/pamac-build-user/davinci-resolve/ which is the pkbuild folder but it keeps giving errors with the download.

danielspalma commented on 2025-02-01 16:23 (UTC)

@meyznu Let's keep the discussion focused on practical solutions rather than unnecessary accusations. English is the most widely used language in the world and the international standard in technology. Assuming it as a default choice is not an exclusionary act but simply a practical decision that benefits the largest number of users.

Calling someone "xenophobic" for suggesting a reasonable default is an unnecessary escalation that adds no value to a technical discussion. It’s a serious and irresponsible accusation in a community that thrives on collaboration and problem-solving.

If there's a better, more inclusive way to handle this, the best course of action is to contribute a more robust solution—perhaps a patch that dynamically determines the appropriate folder based on system settings.

Criticism is welcome, but resorting to victimization through unfounded accusations is counterproductive and unfair. In my view, such behavior should be discouraged, as it distracts from what really matters: improving the software and helping users.
