Comment

The change is a straightforward version bump of the upstream binary package from balena-etcher 2.1.7 to 2.1.9, with the corresponding SHA-256 updated. The source remains an HTTPS GitHub release asset from the official upstream project, and there are no new build-time commands, scripts, or packaging behaviors introduced in this .SRCINFO-only diff. No obvious supply-chain or persistence risk is added by this metadata update alone.

Comment

The change only bumps pkgver from 2.1.7 to 2.1.9 in PKGBUILD. No source URLs, checksums, build steps, install scripts, permissions, or other packaging logic are modified in the provided diff. Based on this hunk alone, there is no evident security impact.

Comment

The change only bumps etcher-bin from 2.1.7 to 2.1.9 and updates the SHA-256 for the upstream .deb source. The source remains an HTTPS GitHub release asset from the project’s official repository, with no new build steps, no added network access, no install-script changes, and no new persistence or privilege-related behavior. Based on the diff shown, this is a routine version/hash update with no security red flags in the packaging logic.
