Why close this? Can it be re-opened? I just learned about the project and it would be useful.

however... wiki mentions that native package and browser extension versions [have to be kept in sync](https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/wiki/Updating) or else this won't work

that means this package could be a pain to maintain and since it isn't particularly useful to a lot of people, updating it could be delayed for a long time

even worse (?) - author seems to be releasing new versions pretty frequently so this might as well be an electron app package request

Comment:
I'm the author of PWAsForFirefox and I found this issue. I don't use Void Linux, but considering it is a (stable) rolling distro and updates to this repository are done with PRs, I could try to automatically submit update PRs to the repository using GitHub Actions when I create a new release. Then, the only delay would be the time it takes to review and merge the PR.

I don't know if automatic PRs are allowed here, and how much time can it take before the PR is merged, so it would be nice if someone can confirm this.

>wiki mentions that native package and browser extension versions [have to be kept in sync](https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/wiki/Updating) or else this won't work

The wiki is slightly outdated. The new recommendation is that versions *should* be kept in sync (as they will probably still work, except if there are major changes).

> author seems to be releasing new versions pretty frequently

New releases are done based on have many new changes there are and how much time I have. I think that on average, there are new releases around once per month.

Comment:
Then, the only option for PWAsForFirefox to be included is probably if there is someone who uses it on Void Linux and could reliably maintain the package...

for anyone wondering, i have a workaround for using pwasforfirefox without packaging for void: 
you can simply use homebrew, it's really easy to install and use

i just tried it out and had an eureka like moment upon seeing it work no problem (anyways thank you @filips123 for this awesome little thing)
