I concur with others here. No one cares about the aesthetic merits of the PKGBUILD, only that it installs the package.
Regarding this: "there's no way ZERO lines are more mess than 40+ lines of black magic the previous package had"
I must point out that the entire purpose of this package is to provide black magic ;)
Muflone, please consider restoring the old behavior whereby the PKGBUILD installs the package.

Read the previous response with the discussion link on the Arch Linux forum.
If you want to discuss this on aur-general feel free to do it, but absolutely avoid to file useless deletion requests without any reasons.
I think we should throw some kind of discussion at the mailing list to stop the absolute bullcrap garbage that has happened to both of the davinci resolve packages ever since @Muflone adopted them. It’s not about “simpler” code, or less code, my dear. It’s about PKGBUILDs doing what they are supposed to do - fully automatically install a package. Your arguments hold no water in the face of Blackmagic’s utter indifference to whatever the hell you enter in the form. They want you to use this software for free, then please package it like any other proprietary free package.
@Blu3Wolf the download URL is dinamically obtained when you file the required fields or when you click the download only link.

About the mess your position is simply wrong: there's no way ZERO lines are more mess than 40+ lines of black magic the previous package had
Also bypassing the required information from the upstream URL is not allowed in an automated way.
Is this your rule? I ask, as I do not see this anywhere in the linked Privacy Policy at the download source. You realise of course that you can simply click "download only" - there is no required information at the upstream URL?
By removing the normal source information from the PKGBUILD, you appear to have increased the mess in this package, rather than reducing it.
For 19.1.4 (and in general for minor updates), using paru:
~/.cache/paru/clone/davinci-resolve-studio (or run the command at step 3 to know the directory)$ sha256sum LATEST_RESOLVE_ZIP_FILE.ZIP # (note the result)$ paru --fm vim -S davinci-resolve-studio # (change the version number and sha256)I noticed that I had to create a .license directory in /opt/resolve with rw permissions for the running user (or just 755 it) or else I could not activate DR.

@ahmadkakarr, is your audio a compatible format? (see Wiki)
audio still not working? how to fix it please???
Anyone know if /opt/resolve/.license/ was moved? Just did a fresh install and I'm unable to find the directory.
EDIT: I was able to solve the problem by creating the directory myself

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.
