Comment

The change is a straightforward version bump of the Slack desktop binary package: it updates the upstream HTTPS download URL, matching noextract filename, and the corresponding BLAKE2 checksum. The source remains on the official Slack downloads domain, there are no new build-time commands, no added scripts, and no changes to package metadata that would suggest privilege escalation or persistence. Based on the provided diff hunk alone, this looks like a routine upstream update with no obvious security red flags.

Comment

The change is a routine version bump in PKGBUILD from 4.51.191 to 4.52.155, with the source URL still using HTTPS on Slack’s official download host and the checksum updated accordingly. No new sources, build-time network fetches, privilege changes, install scripts, or packaging logic changes are introduced in this diff. Based on the provided hunk alone, this looks low risk.

Comment

The change only updates the upstream Slack .deb version and its corresponding b2sum in PKGBUILD. The source remains the official HTTPS Slack download URL, there are no new build-time commands, no added scripts, and no packaging/persistence changes. I did not find any indication of malicious behavior in this diff hunk.
