New comment by Animeshz on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/41008#issuecomment-1350509816 Comment: Ah yes, sorry for the late reply, the `-C` actually just keeps the package there at the build directory (I think like `xbps-src install` instead of `xbps-src pkg`), but if you add the patches or do something else it wouldn't rebuild the package. If you really want to build the package introducing a small change you gotta again clean the directory, extract, patch, and finally fully-build (no incremental).
