If anyone gets a 403 error downloading blender, please let me know. Looks like https://download.blender.org is now behind cloudflare. I can download this using cloudflare warp on my network, but without warp, it fails. So, I will change it to a cloudflare-free mirror if anyone comments that they have problems.

I am currently working on an update to this package that will compile from source. However, as of right now, the binaries fail to verify, stating "yeah you gotta update bro" despite it being compiled from the latest launcher/3.3.0 tag. So, I filed an upstream bug report and will wait until I get a response+fix to update this package. For now, I created blender-benchmark-bin.

This package refuses to run:

The current launcher version is no longer supported.

Hi, this package is misnamed or mispackaged:

1) It's open source
2) It could be built from source ( https://projects.blender.org/infrastructure/blender-open-data )
3) it doesn't have a -bin suffix
4) It fetches and installs a precompiled binary

please fix it :-)

Hi HurricanePootis, thanks for the patch submission. I integrated your changes.

Hello, this package currently has some issues:

1. Wrong pkgver(). I suspect you are trying to set this to match blender, but that is incorrect. This is blender-benchmark, not blender. Please keep the pkgver() to the actual software downloaded. Therefore, since the value of pkgver() is decreasing, also set epoch=1
2. Wrong license, and not spdx complient.
3. Unecessary installation into /opt. benchmark-launcher does not need to be in /opt, as it has no misc files that needs to be next to it. It can just be installed into /usr/bin/.
4. Missing depends(): 'libglvnd' 'libxi' 'libx11' 'libxrandr' 'libxxf86vm' 'libxcursor' 'libxinerama' 'gcc-libs'
5. Missing optdenepds(): 'cuda' 'intel-compute-runtime'

I suggest adding an optional dependency rocm-hip-runtime for benchmarking AMD GPUs.

Yes, I would fully agree with you. The executable binary should have the same name as the package.

I think it'd be nice if /usr/bin/benchmark-launcher were called /usr/bin/blender-benchmark. What do you think?
