slpkgs

The package collection for Sunlight Linux — a fork of void-packages (the XBPS source packages tree), rebranded from Void to Sunlight Linux.

Status: early bootstrap. This repository is being seeded. It will be based on a void-packages fork carrying the Sunlight rebrand (base-files, GRUB, efibootmgr, …). Upstream's structure (srcpkgs/, common/, xbps-src) and its own documentation are merged in at import time.

What it is

slpkgs holds the xbps-src templates that build the packages making up the Sunlight Linux base system and repositories. Each package is a shell template at srcpkgs/<package>/template, built in a chroot/masterdir with xbps-src.

Building (xbps-src)

./xbps-src binary-bootstrap     # one-time: set up the masterdir
./xbps-src pkg <package>        # build a package

See void-packages' Manual.md for the template format and build styles.

Rebrand

Sunlight Linux is a rebrand of Void Linux. The branding delta is intentionally small and concentrated (base-files, bootloader/GRUB, efibootmgr, …) so syncing with upstream void-packages stays manageable. Package names and paths that must match upstream are left unchanged.

Where this fits

slpkgs is one of the five projects in the Sunlight Linux tree, wired up via slmanifests:

repo init -u https://github.com/sunlightlinux/slmanifests.git -b main
repo sync -j4
# slpkgs lands at pkgs/
