Comment

The change only updates the pinned upstream Google Chrome .deb version and its corresponding SHA-512 checksum in .SRCINFO. This is a routine version bump for a binary package from the official Google download host (HTTPS), with no new sources, scripts, build logic, or packaging behavior changes. I don't see any integrity regression or new attack surface introduced by this diff alone.

The change is a straightforward version bump in PKGBUILD from 152.0.7939.5 to 152.0.7953.3 with no accompanying changes to sources, build logic, install scripts, permissions, or dependencies. Based on the provided diff hunk, there are no new security red flags such as network-fetching build steps, suspicious URLs, privilege escalation, or persistence mechanisms.

Comment

The change only updates the SHA-512 checksum for the upstream Google Chrome .deb source archive. The source URL remains the official HTTPS dl.google.com location, and no build logic, install scripts, or package contents are altered. This is a normal integrity-pin refresh rather than a supply-chain red flag. I don’t see evidence of added code execution, persistence, privilege escalation, or new network fetches beyond the existing declared source.
