Yes :)  Look into the build scripts to see the hacks.

No, I will provide OpenBSD-style file sets for the future, and leave
more complex packaging to uses.  You probably can use slpm then.

The system so far contains (almost) everything too bootstrap itself again.

I have started working on Xorg, and I think I can at least get Kdrive to

Slpm is probably much simpler than any ports system out there. It still needs some love..But it works for my use cases.

I recommend you to take a look on it. :)

I already packaged musl, tcc and other stuff in slpm

Gnite. Tomorrow ill give a try to the hacks you talk about.

Having x11 and gtk3 compiled statically can be a great benchmarking point to proove that statically compiled distros can beat dynamic ones.
