Comment

The change is low risk. It only reclassifies a maintainer line as a contributor and moves an existing `NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh` invocation from `build()` into `prepare()`, without adding new sources, network fetches, privilege escalation, persistence, or packaging changes. `autogen.sh` was already part of the build flow, so this is a build-order refactor rather than new code execution. I do note that running `autogen.sh` in `prepare()` is still arbitrary upstream build-script execution, but that was already present before this commit and is not newly introduced here.

Comment

Risk is low. The change only moves an existing `NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh` invocation from `build()` into `prepare()`, so it still runs from the upstream source tree and does not introduce new network fetches, privilege escalation, or installation behavior. The package already builds from a pinned HTTPS source tarball with local patches, and this diff does not alter sources, checksums, dependencies, or package install steps. The main effect is a build-order change that may regenerate autotools files earlier, but there is no clear security impact in the reviewed hunk.

Comment

The change only moves `NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh` from `build()` to `prepare()`. This does not introduce new network access, privilege escalation, persistence, or packaging-path writes beyond what the package already did. It still runs the same upstream autogen script, just earlier in the build lifecycle, and the rest of the PKGBUILD remains unchanged. No additional suspicious sources or install-time behavior are introduced by this diff.
