New comment by fosslinux on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/19830#issuecomment-596918239 Comment: I regularly create packages in `srcpkgs/`, sometimes for testing, in my local fork of void-packages and `./xbps-src pkg` them up and install them on my system.... this is what almost all contributors do for their pull requests for testing. I do not understand what you are asking for? Adding a new package locally is as simple as making the template and ./xbps-src pkg, and distributing it is as simple as uploading it to any hosting. If you are asking why not every single PR is accepted? It is simply because not every single PR is up to the quality that is needed in the void linux repository. If you see my commit history here you will see a large number of closed pull requests around a year ago. This was because I was not very good at programming, scripting, xbps or packaging and as a result produced poor templates and broken updates. The only thing I can see coming out of a user repository is poor/extraneous templates and broken packages/updates, as I created in earlier times.
