Hey,

Let me put it more clearly then, Muflone is the main staff member who
moderates the AUR, I can assure you they know the rules inside out.

They have already explained their reasoning for the change. [1]

There is literally nothing to discuss here, other than "I disagree with
the change". If you have an issue with it you should probably bring it
up with Muflone, not subject an entire mailing list to your personal
preferences.

In any case, this is not a hill worth dying on. You have an extra
step which is clearly documented [2]. If you want to take your anger
out on someone, maybe take it out on Black Magic Design which forced
this change, Muflone has already concluded this a year ago [3], you are
blaming the wrong person here. There is no stable URL to download the
sources from and forcing people to run ambiguous scripts is a security
threat, malicious PKGBUILD's have happened before, therefore you
must always review what you are building which, as Muflone has pointed
out, can not be done if there is a hacky workaround which is not
possible for the average user to review.

I am aware that davinci is much more advanced than a lot of the open
source competition but if it is such a big deal, maybe give some open
source alternatives a go, ones which actually give you both software
freedom, and can be properly packaged and distributed, without upstream
causing any issues, unlike resolve.

Thank you,
