New comment by paper42 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/39900#issuecomment-1275293853 Comment: Nothing changed from 2 years ago. void-packages is by design a monorepo which comes with its advantages and limitations, hacking around them is not supported. `xbps-src` uses the templates of recursive dependencies to create the masterdir, so you need at least those. Changing this would mean entirely changing the design of xbps-src. If you want to have your own packages, just create a branch and push your changes there. This is not actionable and has been discussed before, so closing.
