The XBPS source package collection for Void Linux, containing build recipes for thousands of packages plus the xbps-src tool that fetches, compiles, and packages software into XBPS binary packages. It supports native and cross compilation, musl and glibc targets, and chroot-based builds.

Use cases

• build a package from source for void linux
• add a new package recipe to void linux
• cross-compile packages for another architecture
• build packages against musl libc
• maintain a local void linux package repository
• bootstrap void linux base system from source

When to choose

• you use Void Linux and need a package that is not in the official repos or needs custom build options
• you want to contribute new or updated packages to Void Linux
• you need to build Void packages for musl or a foreign architecture

When to avoid

• you use another distribution and just want to install prebuilt software
• you want a general-purpose build system independent of Void's XBPS tooling
• you need binary package management only, without building from source
