View on AUR

Why flagged

The source is a archived tarball of game data from an older version, hosted on web.archive.org; while the host is non-standard, the content is non-executable assets (music, sounds, graphics) and the checksums match references from other distributions, making it low risk.

Triggered rules

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The source is a archived tarball of game data from an older version, hosted on web.archive.org; while the host is non-standard, the content is non-executable assets (music, sounds, graphics) and the checksums match references from other distributions, making it low risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain

One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).

      3# This package contains music and sounds from blobwars 1.17 (slightly modified to work with the
    
      4# binary in blobwars 1.19).
    
      5#
    
      6# The backstory: Version 1.17 is the last version made by the game's original authors (Parallel
    
      7# Realities). They just used music and sounds found on the Internet -- their origin and licensing
    
      8# status is uncertain. Later, maintainers from Fedora or Debian (I'm not sure) replaced the music
    
      9# and sounds with Creative Commons-licensed alternatives. The new sounds and music are free, but I
    
      10# think they aren't as good as the old version. So if you want to play blobwars as it was originally
    
      11# created (and you don't mind using potentially non-free data), replace blobwars-data with this
    
      12# package.
