Why flagged

The PKGBUILD downloads a prebuilt binary .deb package from lideying.cn, a personal/unofficial Chinese website with no verifiable relationship to any known upstream project. The upstream URL points to a Gitee repository but the actual artifact comes from a completely different, unverifiable host. The package installs a compiled GTK/WebKit2GTK application (a gomoku game) directly from this binary without any source build. While a sha256sum is present, it only verifies integrity against a potentially already-compromised artifact — it does not establish trust in the source. The architecture is arm64-only despite arch=('any'), and the PKGBUILD is also missing the `cd` into the extracted deb directory before running tar, making it likely broken as well. The combination of an executed binary from an unofficial personal host constitutes a genuine medium-severity supply-chain concern.

Triggered rules
