## The XBPS packages collection
This repository contains the XBPS package collection to build binary packages
for the Void Linux distribution.
To start using it first you'll need some external dependencies:
- GNU make
- GNU bash
- C compiler
- fakeroot
The `xbps-src` utility and its helpers must be built first:
$ make
The `xbps-src` chroot helper required to chroot and setup the bind mounts must
be a setgid binary that can only be executed by a special group, by default `xbuilder`.
To set the appropiate permissions run the `setup` target:
$ sudo make setup
After that you can run:
$ ./xbps-src -h
to see all available targets/options and start building any available package
in the `srcpkgs` directory.
See Manual.md for documentation to create and learn about the source packages.
