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.

Soo.. I managed to install it, here's my experience... I tried cloning the entire repository kindly linked by Ashark

git clone https://gist.github.com/Ashark/a194db36c8acd53f3cff496b617628fb

there will be a couple more files other than the PKGBUILD that are needed. Then I made a backup of the existing /opt/resolve folder, so that in case of braking it, I had the older version (I guess) still working.

sudo cp -R /opt/resolve /opt/resolve.bak

Then I went into the previously downloaded folder (I cloned it in my home/davinci)

cd ~/davinci/a194db36c8acd53f3cff496b617628fb

and made the package the usual AUR way

makepkg -si

then waited for it to make and compress the package. When I tried to install it I got a couple of errors. The first ones referred to the non existance of some files in /var/lib/pacman/local/davinci-resolve-15.2.2-2/. Maybe it was looking for some cached files, so I just erased this folder

sudo rm -Rf /var/lib/pacman/local/davinci-resolve-15.2.2-2/

and tried again installing the package with "sudo pacman -U PACKAGEPATH.tar.xz" but got other errors referring to already existing files (the old version was still there, maybe "pacman -U" doesn't just erase and replace it, or maybe it doesn't work with /opt software, i don't know). Anyway, I erased the old version (mantaining the backup)

sudo rm -Rf /opt/resolve sudo rm sudo rm /etc/xdg/menus/applicationsmerged/com.blackmagicdesign.resolve.menu

and tried again "sudo pacman -U PACKAGEPATH.tar.xz" and IT WORKED.

Remember: nVidia Optimus users (i.e. laptops with discrete nVidia GPUs) should always run this with optirun/primusrun in order to ensure best stability and performance.

@codibit I agree with you that this is not a trivial update, but there might be unexperienced people, maybe dealing the first time with this package, that could be demotivated into trying this awesome software by these errors. Many people like me rely on some software (like me) in order to keep using (Arch) Linux as their main OS. I do a lot of video editing and should switch to Mac OS/Windows as my main OS without this software working good :(

@everyone As I said in my previous comment, I'm not good with AUR maintaining stuff and I know almost NOTHING on how to update an AUR package for the community. Feel free to use this information to improve this package. Although I'm sure that the mantainers of this package will soon solve the issue, if needed, I can give further information on my machine/system or I'm here to help even with my small knowledge.

Give some time to the mantainer. We are in holiday period in many parts of the world and it's not a trivial update. I think the PKGBUILD in the comments is working, but you can also download a snapshot of davinci-resolve-studio and renaming a couple of strings (mainly package name, hashes and achive file name IIRC) you can get up and running in no time ;)

It is not working for me either. Any plans to fix a pretty popular package. As others have said the zip contains a .run file and not a .sh.

Vincintosh commented on 2019-01-04 12:18 (UTC) (edited on 2019-01-04 12:28 (UTC) by Vincintosh)

Guys this package doesn't work. By default it looks for DaVinci_Resolve_15.2.2_Linux.sh, but there's no .sh file in the cache, instead the zip file is extracted as a .run file. Changing the .sh to .run in the PKGBUILD gives this error: "Unknown options: tar, C."

I tried the PKGBUILD given by Ashark but it gives this error "xdg-icon-resource: No writable system icon directory found." :/ Any suggestions? I would love to help, but I know almost nothing about PKGBUILDs :/

Ashark commented on 2018-12-21 09:18 (UTC) (edited on 2018-12-31 03:30 (UTC) by Ashark)

I have hardly reworked package instructions in PKGBUILD https://gist.github.com/Ashark/a194db36c8acd53f3cff496b617628fb

For now it is ready, but there are some todos inside. Also, do you think it's better to require user to be in users group and chgrp specific files, instead of chmod 777 them? I think yes.

It also solves:

xdg-user-dirs is in makedepend
fixed running "xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD" before actually checking dependencies
removed archive from sources, because files from this array are extracted before running any functions, but we want to be able to symlink to archive file in downloads folder
made a prepare function to manually find, symlink, check integrity and extract archive
package function now extracts .run file

See https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=83795

Sorry guys, need some time to fix it. I fix it soon.

guitaristtom commented on 2018-12-20 00:00 (UTC)

Ah, never mind. It did end up failing. The PKGBuild is calling for a .sh file, when the archive has a .run file in it.

guitaristtom commented on 2018-12-19 23:49 (UTC)

@shimano same thing as @ChristophWurst, you have to download the ZIP file from Blackmagic's website.
