## Quality Requirements

> To be included in the Void repository, software must meet at least one of the following requirements. Exceptions to the list are possible, and might be accepted, but are extremely unlikely. If you believe you have an exception, start a PR and make an argument for why that particular piece of software, while not meeting any of the following requirements, is a good candidate for the Void packages system.

> System: The software should be installed system-wide, not per-user.

> Compiled: The software needs to be compiled before being used, even if it is software that is not needed by the whole system.

> Required: Another package either within the repository or pending inclusion requires the package.

> In particular, new themes are highly unlikely to be accepted. Simple shell scripts are unlikely to be accepted unless they provide considerable value to a broad user base. New fonts may be accepted if they provide value beyond aesthetics (e.g. they contain glyphs for a script missing in already packaged fonts).

tspreed is installed system wide, not just for the user. So one of the quality requirements *is* met. Furthermore:

I'd make an argument that this shell script "provide[s] considerable value to a broad user base." There are other packages that are just shell scripts.

I would argue this PR should be re-opened on the grounds that:
1. It meets at least one quality requirement as it is installed system-wide
2. The shell script "provide[s] considerable value to a broad user base."
