The only change in this .SRCINFO hunk is a version bump from 7.2.5 to 7.2.6. No build logic, sources, checksums, install scripts, or packaging metadata beyond the version number changed. On its face this does not introduce any new security risk. One minor pre-existing concern visible in the hunk is that the upstream URL uses plain HTTP rather than HTTPS, but that is unchanged by this commit and therefore not attributable to the reviewed change.

Comment

The change is a straightforward source update in .SRCINFO: it bumps the XanMod patch from 7.2.5-xanmod1 to 7.2.6-xanmod1 and updates the corresponding checksum. The source remains an HTTPS download from the same upstream project on SourceForge, with no new build steps, scripts, privileges, or packaging behavior introduced by this metadata-only change. I do not see any supply-chain red flags in the diff itself.

Comment

The change only bumps the package version from 7.2.5 to 7.2.6 in PKGBUILD. No sources, build steps, install scripts, permissions, or dependencies are altered, and there are no new integrity or execution concerns visible in this diff hunk.

Comment

The change only updates the PKGBUILD checksum for one source artifact, alongside a version bump from 7.2.5 to 7.2.6. I do not see any new build-time execution, network fetches, privilege changes, or packaging logic changes in the reviewed hunk. The risk is low because this is a standard integrity hash refresh, though the underlying source artifact itself is not inspected here beyond the checksum update.
