Issues and bugs, please report on the official forum here: https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewforum.php?f=21&sid=239f0d5c49abe5d6a635b69638192e9a Thank you!

Visit DaVinci Resolve - ArchWiki before installing: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve

ATTENTION: Please don't flag this package as out-of-date before beta version has been released as stable!

This is a current stable Package!

The current free beta is available here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/davinci-resolve-beta/

And for current studio beta here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/davinci-resolve-studio-beta/

Thanks.

It sounds like we have a working PKGBUILD. Rather than the manual workaround, can the package be updated for 18.1.5?

@phoepsilonix it does get created. i just needed to follow FabioLolix advice of using

makepkg -s

instead of

makepkg -S

but i'll keep the commands you showed in mind. maybe i can use them in the future.

@Redstonerayy Does davinci-resolve-18.5.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst file not be created in your environment?

The following command downloads the dependent packages and　DaVinci_Resolve_18.5.1_Linux.zip

makepkg -osC

At this point, you can also install manually.

unzip DaVinci_Resolve_18.5.1_Linux.zip
./DaVinci_Resolve_18.5.1_Linux.run

To convert to a package in arch linux format, run the following command:

makepkg -e

davinci-resolve-18.5.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst will have been created.

@Redstonerayy you are trying to install a generic archive (src.tar.gz) instead of a pacman package (pkg.tar.*), I guess you used makepkg -S instead of makepkg -s

hey phoepsilonix. i tried out your package build and noticed, that your seemed to have missed to change the refererid for the free edition (although this does not seem to matter?) (see here https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/download/407464b9a0e6435ab99b85693cbf24ab/Linux) but an even bigger issue on my maschine is, that upon building the package, pacman is still not able to install it (could maybe only be my pc) idk, but maybe a change to .SRCINFO is needed. did you do smth. special to make it work for you? this is how pacman errors:

$ sudo pacman -U davinci-resolve-18.5.1-1.src.tar.gz
loading packages...
error: missing package metadata in davinci-resolve-18.5.1-1.src.tar.gz
error: 'davinci-resolve-18.5.1-1.src.tar.gz': invalid or corrupted package

one thing i also noticed is that you used another api, which i appreciate as it makes the build more dynamic :)

thanks @FabioLolix

This is my current working state of the PKGBUILD for version 18.5.1. I obtained the download and referer id using the browser devtools and the sha256 sums by downloading the official files from their website. strange thing is that although this should be right, the build is failing because of a failed validity check. if i change the sha256 to that of the file downloaded by the package build, it builds the package but the package isn't installable using pacman. i suspect it's still not downloading the correct file (change to .SRCINFO may be required?) but this goes beyond my understanding.

Note: I've send an e-mail to the maintaner, hoping things will be fixed when they find some time.

DaVinci Resolve 18.5.1 is available, please update this

Hello, it looks like the stable version of davinci has been updated to 18.5. So this package is out-of-date. https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=185029&sid=e0c1898a0602d790b8113cf6f5dd3113

From the earlier comments, it appears that this is causing build issues. So I hope you resolve this quickly.
