What would i miss out on if i used base-minimal.
I wrote the ignorepkg feature for xbps, specifically for cases like this. https://github.com/void-linux/xbps/pull/62

xbps-remove cache removing problem
xbps-remove -O: this deletes outdated packages from the cache, the confusion probably comes from that it does not remove packages that are not installed anymore. I have an open PR for xbps to implement cleaning packages that are not installed anymore uptodate. https://github.com/void-linux/xbps/pull/530

No automatic discovery of new package versions?
More info about xbps flags can be found on the respective man pages and on the xbps github

What is the cleanest, most well written, best structured, open source C project you've seen?
mpv and the xbps package manager both come to mind. I read them casually and found them very easy to grasp.

Doing stupid stuff with xbps
So for context, I'm attempting to port the xbps to another distro that isn't Void Linux using the instructions over at https://github.com/void-linux/xbps.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pacman and xbps you can also consider the following projects:
aoc2021
yay - Yet another Yogurt - An AUR Helper written in Go
mp-units - The quantities and units library for C++
pacman - pacman with Quil
cppfront - A personal experimental C++ Syntax 2 -> Syntax 1 compiler
pkgsrc - Automatic conversion of the NetBSD pkgsrc CVS module, use with care
dejavu - Game Maker reimplementation
libxft-bgra - A patched version of libxft that allows for colored emojis to be rendered in Suckless software (dmenu/st/whatever).
libCat - 🐈⬛ A runtime for C++26 w/out libC or POSIX. Smaller binaries, only arena allocators, SIMD, stronger type safety than STL, and value-based errors!
void-runit - runit init scripts for Void
eve - Expressive Vector Engine - SIMD in C++ Goes Brrrr
avoidance - A void dance.
