    An x-cursor theme inspired by macOS and based on KDE Breeze. Designed to pair well with my icon pack, La Capitaine.

  • I'm trying to create a binary XBPS package using xbps-src. I'm using capitaine-cursors (https://github.com/keeferrourke/capitaine-cursors) as an example. I have generated the templete file and added in some of the information using xnew:

  • void-packages

    The Void source packages collection

  • You should read https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/Manual.md if you haven't done so already. I would also recommend looking at already existing templates of other packages to see how it works.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • svntogit-community

    Discontinued Automatic import of svn 'community' repo (read-only mirror)

  • If the building process of capitaine-cursors is unclear to you, then you could take inspiration from how other package managers build the package.
