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xbps-remove -O: this deletes outdated packages from the cache, the confusion probably comes from that it does not remove packages that are not installed anymore.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
-
xbps-alternatives error (is this just me?)
This is knowwn bug of xbps without released fix as for now https://github.com/void-linux/xbps/issues/312.

Is parallel downloading planned for xbps-install
void-linux/xbps/issues/57 is the issue to follow, but i doubt it will happen soon...
-
Who would like something like endeavor os but based off of void
BUGS Probably, but I try to make this not happen. Use it under your own responsibility and enjoy your life. Report bugs at https://github.com/void-linux/xbps/issues

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.

GNU poke: The extensible editor for structured binary data
It's a bit overkill for only building Poke, but you can use Pkgsrc [1] to do so on macOS:
Bootstrap Pkgsrc:
git clone https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.git

ImportError: No module named libvirt
Looking at pkgsrc/sysutils/libvirt/PLIST it doesn't look like the package provides any Python bindings -- which is what the "ImportError: No module named libvirt" error message is about. You could try py-libvirt from pkgsrc-wip and see how that works out.

Using NetBSD’s pkgsrc everywhere I can
The repository of record is CVS, but you can - like many of us do - use either the HG export (https://anonhg.netbsd.org/pkgsrc) or GitHub (https://github.com/netbsd/pkgsrc) instead.
At some point we will transition the repository of record to something else, but it's being done carefully. We want to do it right, and there aren't many volunteers willing help with the work.
