Custom Void Linux repository

This project represents my own custom Void Linux repository. It contains various XBPS packages for various architectures which didn't make the merge into the official void-linux/void-packages repository for one reason or another.

To get an overview of the available packages, visit https://xdeb-org.github.io/voidlinux-repository.

The entire repository is managed via GitHub Actions (see .github/workflows) and custom container images (see the Branches section below). The only thing hidden from the public is my private RSA key which is used to sign the XBPS package repository.

How to install

In order to install packages from this repository, create a new .conf file in the /etc/xbps.d directory containing the repository URL:

# /etc/xbps.d/99-xdeb-org.conf

repository=https://xdeb-org.github.io/voidlinux-repository

Then, synchronize the XBPS repositories:

$ sudo xbps-install -S

XBPS will ask you to import my RSA key. Double check the correctness of the key:

Signed-by: Timo Reichl <thetredev@gmail.com>
Fingerprint: a9:e3:1f:07:e6:ff:c8:74:2a:f5:b6:22:5c:6d:d4:16

After importing the key, you can execute xbps-install <package> to install any of the packages available for your host architecture at https://xdeb-org.github.io/voidlinux-repository.

Branches

Branch	Purpose
main	This branch. Used to build and release all XBPS packages listed within the packages directory.
docker	Used to build and release custom container images to be able to easily build XBPS packages.
pages	Locked placeholder branch to stop GitHub from executing the automatic GitHub Pages CI pipeline. The main branch contains a custom Pages CI pipeline.

Conventions

Package version updates

On package version updates, the revision stays the same. Example:

-version=1.0.0
+version=1.0.1
revision=1

Build environment updates

On build environment changes, e.g. updates to submodules, updates to build scripts and/or GitHub workflows, the version stays the same, while the revision is incremented. Example:

version=1.0.0
-revision=1
+revision=2

Revision reset

If the revision was higher than 1, and a package version was updated, the revision is reset to 1, regardless of build environment updates within the same commit. Example:

-version=1.0.0
+version=1.0.1
-revision=2
+revision=1
