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.

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ATTENTION: Please don't flag this package as out-of-date before beta version has been released as stable!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

I can confirm that @ponies fix works (I edited the PKGBUILD file as listed, in two lines as opposed to one line). It worked. Resolve updated to 17.1 but unlike @kureta all of my icons have disappeared entirely. I'm also using GNOME. I can run Resolve via terminal using /opt/resolve/bin/resolve but it would be nice to re-install having all of the menu items back. Any suggestions would be apppreciated.

@ponies yout fix works but there is a small problem. all .desktop files have entries like

Path=RESOLVE_INSTALL_LOCATION/
Exec=RESOLVE_INSTALL_LOCATION/bin/resolve %u

So Gnome does not recognize them as a desktop application. I have replaced all RESOLVE_INSTALL_LOCATION entries with /opt/resolve and now everything works without any problems. But I don't know how the PKGBUILD should be modified to make this change during installation.

Thank you very much @ponies your fix is working actually! :)

FIXED

the problem is

./${_installer_binary} --appimage-extract "${pkgdir}/opt/${_pkgname}"

change the line to:

./${_installer_binary} --appimage-extract
mv squashfs-root/* "${pkgdir}/opt/${_pkgname}"

Explaination:

  --appimage-extract [<pattern>]  Extract content from embedded filesystem image
                                  If pattern is passed, only extract matching 
                                  files

@bartus: Thank you! I applied your patch and retried the build, and this time it ran to completion and 17.1 seems to run properly. However, the build reported these messages:

@Konzartheld: I'm pretty sure it should work fine. Here's the list of files in my devinci-resolve package http://ix.io/2SY2 (it contains all opt/davinci-resolve/bin files.

My clone of this repo with applied patch. https://github.com/bartoszek/AUR-davinci-resolve.git

btw. Whole prepare() function is redundant and irrelevant. When user builds on system that already has previous version of the package installed it warns about non existing problem, on the other hand when building first time and system has some residue from installing davinci-resolve with appimage, it's redundant to pacman waring message for overlapping files which lists conflicting set of files and refers user to --overwrite option for pacman -S

@bartus I can confirm that extraction to squashfs-root works properly with the first command you suggested. Then I went ahead and modified the PKGBUILD and tried installing again, without success, still no binaries in /opt/resolve afterwards.

Also, I am pretty sure the link you posted is not what you wanted to post as it contains a lot of system information. :)

Unpack call to appimage is malformed - it doesn't works like author thought it does.

./${_installer_binary} --appimage-extract "${pkgdir}/opt/${_pkgname}"

Last arguments names files to extract from appimage not location to extract to: --appimage-extract puts all files in squashfs-root folder in current working dir, this call should looks like:

./${_installer_binary} --appimage-extract
cd squashfs-root
./installer -i -y -n -a -C "${pkgdir}/opt/${_pkgname}" "$PWD"

btw. fuse2 is not required if you are calling appimage --appimage-extract

[patch]

Apply with git am -s < <(curl -s http://ix.io/2SVj)

And sorry lads, looks like this is all my fault, as I suggested this change without explaining all quirks that has to be accounted for ಥ_ಥ [###]
