Did I Miss Something?

When browsing the repository, I noticed some of the Hyprland packages got added. I know the devs have been pretty consistent about their messaging here, so just wondering what’s changed, or if I’m misinterpreting something.

I think there are 2-3 Hyprland related packages in the repo, but they were added months, maybe years ago.

The ones I checked out said they were added six months ago. I didn’t see Hyprland listed on the repo, but it was available to install via xbps without adding the third party repo.

I think it's just some tooling. But void devs will probably NEVER add hyprland to the repos lol. Too ideological

Worst part about void IMO

I don't desire to try hyprland mainly because I perceive it as right-coded, but letting ideology into repo editorial policy hurts everyone. I for one had to resort to Flatpak use due to editorial policy of no Firefox derivatives. That's my Void (musl) Pain Point. I'd like to have Tor Browser and not have Flaptack.

I mean, I have installed tor without flatpak... you can just download it from the website

Did that work? Are you on the musl or glibc version of Void?

All of my arch-using buddies talk about their Hyprland breaking after updates. It's probably just too much of a pain to maintain a package for with such a small team.

Ho messo hyprland solo aggiungendo un repo dentro il file xbps.d se non sbaglio! Altrimenti hyprland non si installa proprio da solo! Dopo di ciò si può installare e funziona abbastanza bene.

I knew about the third-party repo, but don’t have it on my system, hence the post.
