I'll just throw in my 2 cents. > A package is an archive containing: > all of the (compiled) files of an application > metadata about the application, such as application name, version, > dependencies, etc. > installation files and directives for pacman
[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Installing_packages] Obviously this does not apply to AUR packages in the same way, because the source files are usually stored in an external repository. However, for the user, the installation flow is the exact same as if the package contained the source files. To expect the user to download the actual file is too far; what you have then is not a package, but an installation script. I think there is an argument to be made that davinci-resolve is unpackageable under a strict interpretation of the AUR guidelines. I'm not averse to the old implementation of the package, though, because it was still a package. Also, can we please have plaintext emails? Sam
