New comment by ahesford on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/43668#issuecomment-1528759384 Comment: Adding magic to XBPS really only makes sense if it impacts more than a couple of templates. If you have a template that would benefit from this (and, if so, why isn't it being modified to use these features here?), you might as well just export the variables directly and add the dependencies you require.
