ATTENTION: Please don't flag this package as out-of-date before beta version has been released as stable!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

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 So this package is out-of-date.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.

Package is broken:

The source download will not work with the current curl parameters as the overridden Host header is different from what CloudFlare in front of the download server expects. I did the following changes to PKGBUILD to remove unnecessary parameters and add the street field and it works.

Hello The url to the DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.4_Linux.zip is expired. thx

ups, read before write sorry

using the helpful comment from @jshcmpbli the PKGBUILD could be altered (as provided here) to allow installation. installation worked fine on my arch-derivative.

Looks like Blackmagic added a street field to the existing payload request.

Here is the update in Nix - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/242751
