Void is a general purpose linux distribution, meant to be used by advanced users. Its package system allows you to quickly install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source packages collection.

About this versionThe portable proplib version is the same version than is available on NetBSD, but with the exception that NetBSD specific code has been removed and it has been converted to be built through the GNU autotools. Also some miscellaneous changes have been done to not depend on stuff that is not available in all systems.
It should be mentioned that NetBSD's proplib code is a free, clean room and from scratch implementation, based in the specifications available for Mac OS X, written by Jason R. Thorpe.
I'd like to thank Jason R. Thorpe for such a great library. [Less]
The X Binary Package System (in short XBPS) is a binary package system designed and implemented from scratch. Its goal is to be fast, easy to use, bug-free, featureful and portable as much as possible.
The XBPS code is totally compatible with POSIX/SUSv2/C99 standards, and released with a
... [More] Simplified BSD license (2 clause). There is a well documented API provided by the XBPS Library that is the basis for its frontends to handle binary packages and repositories. [Less]
