Comment

The only change in this diff is a version bump in .SRCINFO from 1.21.5b to 1.21.6b, along with updated checksums and release URLs for the upstream GitHub release tarballs. The package still uses HTTPS, points to the official upstream repository/releases, and there are no new build-time commands, install scripts, patches, or privilege/persistence mechanisms introduced by this hunk. Based on the provided diff alone, this is a routine metadata update with no evident security impact.

Comment

The only change in the reviewed hunk is updating the virtual provide from zen-browser=1.21.5b to zen-browser=1.21.6b to match the package version. This is a metadata-only change in .SRCINFO and does not introduce new sources, build steps, permissions, or install-time behavior. No security impact is evident from this diff alone.

Comment

The diff is a straightforward version bump in .SRCINFO for the prebuilt Zen Browser binaries, updating the GitHub release URLs and corresponding SHA256 checksums for x86_64 and aarch64. The sources remain on the official upstream GitHub release page over HTTPS, and there is no evidence in this hunk of added code execution, new sources, privilege escalation, or packaging-policy violations. Risk is low because this is metadata-only and the checksums were updated consistently with the new release artifacts.

The only change in this diff is a pkgver bump from 1.21.5b to 1.21.6b. There are no changes to source URLs, checksums, build logic, install scripts, permissions, or package metadata beyond the version number. Based on the provided hunk alone, this does not introduce any new security risk.

Comment

The change only updates the recorded SHA-256 checksums for the prebuilt x86_64 and aarch64 release tarballs. I did not see any change to the download URLs, package scripts, install hooks, or other execution paths. This is a normal integrity-update for a new upstream binary release, with no added attack surface in the diff hunk itself. Risk is low because the security impact depends on the trustworthiness of the new upstream artifacts, but the PKGBUILD change itself is not suspicious.
