There is a new pull request by ahesford against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/ahesford/void-packages base https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/39814 [RFC] base-{minimal,voidstrap,system}: unify base packages Unifying the three alternative base packages makes it easier to manage dependencies consistently, and having successively more featureful packages depend on the next more spartan package makes the additional inclusions more obvious. If there is any real reason not to have a `base-system -> base-voidstrap -> base-minimal` dependency chain, we can still preserve dependency maintainability by defining, *e.g.*, ```sh _minimal_depends="[...]" _voidstrap_depends="${_minimal_depends} [...]" ``` in the header. #### Testing the changes - I tested the changes in this PR: **NO** A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/39814.patch is attached
