Arch Linux User Repository

@Aestial - yes, the URL has changed, if you have an existing git clone then you need to do a git pull to update, or a new clone (all works here as expected FYI)

Download is not working because new URL is different from format found in PKGBUILD. New format: https://cdn.lwks.com/releases/${lwksreldir}/Lightworks-${lwksver}-${lwksbuild}.deb

Updated to 2025.1 revision 151752, the full list of fixes can be found here:- https://forum.lwks.com/threads/updated-lightworks-2025-1-release-installers-now-available-to-download.252670/#post-287403

Please report any problems on the user forum at https://forum.lwks.com/

thanks we'd noticed that, looking into why the download doesn't work - hopefully it will be resolved shortly
