New comment by Hoshpak on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/12173#issuecomment-499388429 Comment: I don't think using the same random string for all installations would be appropriate, wouldn't it? I think this should better be done in an `INSTALL` script as a post action. This way is is executed by xbps after package installation on the local system. You can look at existing scripts like e.g. `trousers` to see how such a script should be implemented. Arch already has a script for their package manager which could be adapted to our needs: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/brltty.install?h=packages/brltty They use the `mcookie` command from `util-linux` to create the random text.
