Comment

The change is a simple version bump in .SRCINFO from 7.3rc5 to 7.3rc6. No build logic, sources, checksums, install scripts, or packaging behavior changed, and the URL remains the official kernel.org upstream. This does not introduce any new security risk on its face.

Comment

The change is a routine upstream version bump in .SRCINFO from Linux v7.3-rc5 to v7.3-rc6, with the corresponding source checksum updated. The source remains the official kernel.org git repository over HTTPS, and there are no new build steps, scripts, binaries, or privilege-related artifacts introduced by this diff. No security concerns are evident from this metadata-only update.

Comment

The change only bumps the upstream kernel tag/version from v7.3-rc5 to v7.3-rc6 in PKGBUILD. No new sources, scripts, build steps, dependencies, or packaging behavior were introduced. This is a routine version update with no security-relevant red flags in the provided diff.

Comment

The change is a routine upstream version bump from v7.3-rc5 to v7.3-rc6 with the corresponding source checksum update. I do not see any new sources, build-time downloads, privilege changes, install-script changes, or other suspicious packaging behavior in this diff. Risk is minimal.
