@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Here is a good mini-guide that helped me familiarize myself with xbps-src: https://gist.github.com/Piraty/2e8c9fa86d4eb70f22efb9e0ecdda235
I advise you not to start building everything from source like Gentoo Stage1 and start with xbps-src binary-bootstrap, then build just the critical software. The default CFLAGS are rather sane in fact. Of course you can use xbps-src -N to ignore the binary repos, but some stuff takes crazy amounts of time to build, e.g. firefox, I only do it because it was broken on wayland for 3 releases(!)
