Try out OSH on Void Linux scripts

[andychu]

Thread that got me interested here: https://lobste.rs/s/8fd1pd/into_void_void_linux_description_review

Code: https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps

Since OSH 0.4 can run Alpine, Aboriginal, and Debian scripts, there's a good chance it can run Void scripts, or is within spitting distance of it.

Actually I'm not sure where the source is, xbps has mostly C code, and this one is obsolete:

https://github.com/voidlinux/xbps-src

EDIT: It lives at the root here: https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages

Only 800 lines.

xbps-src is only 800 lines but in the process of building it sources various files in common/

Hi, I can possibly do this if you point out the right way to me

Are you a Void Linux user? Presumably it uses bash, and you can rebuild Void Linux packages with bash.

If that's the case, then in theory you should be able to build Void Linux packages with OSH, and that's what I'm looking to test.

Somebody already built OSH on Void Linux, and apparently it works. (There is a conflict with the packaging system that prevents it from being packaged, but that shouldn't stop you from building and running it.)

Oh, I thought it requires a bit of tweaking. Unfortunately, I am not a Void Linux user. I could help with other important issues if you can point out the most important

Do you have any shell scripts you've written yourself or that you use often and know well? I would start by building OSH and running those scripts with it. Then let me know if it succeeds or fails.

You can post a message on #oil-discuss on oilshell.zulipchat.com, or file a new issue if there is a clear bug.

Thanks!
