Ahh i see. Yeah that makes sense, the void repo is huge.

Well, maybe not huge, but fairly big, yes. It's a close second to Arch and the only distro that's not systemd based that has that ammount of packages, whether it be prebuilt or not.

The scripting system and xtools is what makes it so appealing. You could litelarly have a working template for xbps-src in hours (at worst). And then you just run ./xbps-src pkg whatever and that's that, you can install your package on your system, share the template with the world, whatever you like.

Wow I didn't know about that. Definitely gonna try that out and maybe contribute some templates.

You submit them to the void-packages repo.

But, they can be somewhat strict. They have their own rules and if the package doesn't follow the guidelines, it won't get accepted (most probably). Still, you can make your own repo with the template.
