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
• xbps >= 0.33

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 for documentation to create and learn about the source packages.
