New comment by Piraty on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/19830#issuecomment-595701241 Comment: sure you do have freedom. xbps-src neither is centralized, nor does it dictate anything to you. it's all open source, so grab the sources and modify+use it to your liking (according to the license), build the packages you want, live happy life. Some people do have a branch with all their customizations/additions and build packages from that branch.
