The change is low risk. It only bumps pkgrel and adds two check-time dependencies (psmisc, tcsh) to .SRCINFO; there are no source URL changes, no new runtime dependencies, no build-script changes, and no evidence of network access, privilege escalation, or packaging of binaries/scripts. This looks like metadata synchronization rather than a security-relevant modification.

Comment

The change is low risk. It only adds a check() function and a new check dependency, with no changes to source retrieval, build outputs, install targets, or privilege/network behavior. The new test starts the built daemon locally with a null backend and runs an existing test script via tcsh; this is confined to the build environment and does not write outside $pkgdir. The package() change only adds LIBTOOLFLAGS='--no-warnings' to make install, which is not a security concern. No suspicious sources, scripts, or persistence mechanisms were introduced.

Comment

Risk is low. The change adds a check() function that starts the built esd daemon locally and runs an in-tree tcsh test script, with no network access, privilege escalation, or writes outside the build tree. The only packaging change is passing LIBTOOLFLAGS='--no-warnings' to make install, which affects build verbosity rather than installed content. I did note that the new check() references a test-script not present in the repository snapshot, so the test may fail or be a no-op depending on upstream contents, but that is a build reliability issue, not a security concern. No suspicious sources, install-time persistence, or system modifications were introduced.
