Currently, I'm planning to rebuild cinnamon-settings, to adjust the DPI
settings for y hidpi display (cinnamon overrides manually-configured xorg,
so I have little choice).
My plan is to grab the source, via git and xbps-src, starting with the
instructions found here: https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages
I imagine I won't need to perform any additional configuration, as I'm
starting with a Void source package, and simply editing a line or two of C
code, then building and installing.
Given the instructions at the aforementioned page, I ought to be able to
simply edit the appropriate .c file in the package, then do the following:
$ ./xbps-src pkg cinnamon-settings
$ xbps-install --repository=/path/to/hostdir/binpkgs/..
That looks deceptively simple. Is there anything I'm missing?

After cloning the void-packages repository the first thing you need to do
is create the bootstrap environment:
./xbps-src binary-bootstrap
The next step depends on what you want to achieve. Do you want to update
the package for future use by you and/or others? Then the cleanest way
would be to put a patch-file into "srcpkgs/<packagename>/patches/". Then
increase the revision in "srcpkgs/<packagename>/template". This is of
course the tricky part. Afterwards you can build an dinstall the package as
you have written. Just add the package name at the end of your xbps-install
line :)
If you only want to make the changes this one time and not preserve them
you can get xbps-src to get the sources for you:
./xbps-src extract <packagename>
Edit the the sources as desired in
"masterdir/builddir/<packagename+version>/"
Build and install like this:
./xbps-src -C -f pkg <packagename>
xbps-install -f --repository=/path/to/hostdir/binpkgs <packagename>

Additionally to what Steffan said, if you've installed a custom pkg, you
should put it on *hold* mode
with xbps-pkgdb(8):
# xbps-pkgdb -m hold <pkgname>
This will avoid updates with `xbps-install -u` and will have to be updated
manually, i.e `xbps-install -u <pkgname>`.
For 0.44, I want to add a feature to only update a package if there's a new
version in the same repository of
what was used for installation.
