Details

Description:
The attached diff switches the cmake PKGBUILD to use a PGP-signed git tag for authenticity.

Additional info:
I also tried to get upstream to sign the tarballs we currently use but was unsuccessful.

Or an alternate diff that uses their Gitlab instead of Github (slower, but technically upstream)

Updated diff for 3.25.3

(uses tag=v${pkgver} instead of a commit ID for the maintainer's convenience this time, since the former doesn't seem to be wanted)

FWIW upstream dev Brad King just explicitly refused my inquiry about providing detached signatures to the tarball, so this is the only way we can get authenticity for cmake sources.

"No, sorry. Please fetch the .txt, check its signature, and use it to verify the hash of the real tarball."
