There's a closed pull request on the void-packages repository julia: update to 1.5.0. https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/24097 Description: The issues from have been resolved, so system libgit2 is used instead of vendoring in dependency. Switching from using skiprdeps to noverifyrdeps so that dependency isn't falsely detected on libraries julia vendors . [ci skip] because llvm takes too long to build. Builds fine on my x86_64 glibc machine, and in principle we should be able to build julia on other supported architectures (armv7, aarch64, and x86_64-musl), but I don't have void installs to test that on. EDIT: I successfully built in a x86_64-musl hostdir/masterdir using the current template.
