Why flagged This PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt .deb binary from the project's own website (proyectosigueme.com), which is the official upstream URL matching the package's url= field. However, several concerns remain: (1) the source is a prebuilt binary blob (a .deb file) rather than source code, meaning whatever is inside is executed/installed without compilation or inspection; (2) the integrity check is only MD5, which is cryptographically weak; (3) the license is listed as 'unknown'; (4) the build() function attempts to extract data.tar.gz without first extracting it from the .deb archive — the .deb is not unpacked into data.tar.gz automatically, so this PKGBUILD is likely broken as written; (5) the upstream host is a small project website that could disappear or be compromised. The host is the official project site, not a random personal host, which reduces but does not eliminate supply-chain risk for a prebuilt binary. The broken extraction logic is also notable. Overall this is a medium-risk prebuilt binary from a small unofficial host with weak integrity verification.
