python3-pywhispercpp was installed as 0.0.0. setup.py passes no version to
setup() and takes it from setuptools-scm, which the Void build did not
install; the template's PYWHISPERCPP_VERSION export is never read. The app
read 0.0.0 as an old binding and skipped GPU device selection. Install
setuptools-scm, pin the version with SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION, and
make the app treat a 0.0.0 distribution as unknown so the runtime feature
probe decides.
The CPU backend was built with every SIMD option off, so the real-time
factor on an AVX2 host was about 1.7. Build with GGML_BACKEND_DL and
GGML_CPU_ALL_VARIANTS instead: one CPU library per instruction-set level,
with the x86-64 baseline always shipped. The binding loads the variants
from its own directory (patches/), and pre_install places them beside the
extension. The app's library preloader skips those variants: they export
identical symbols, so preloading them RTLD_GLOBAL would let one variant
serve every other. The install smoke asserts that the installed package
reports 1.5.0, that the baseline variant holds no AVX code, that the AVX2
variant does, and that the CPU and Vulkan backends load from the package.

voculinux now depends on python3-PyAudio and python3-pysocks at the carried versions, so a stock Void package below the project floors is upgraded rather than silently kept. The container smoke installs the stock packages first and asserts the upgrade.
User-facing docs, About page and website now point at the fork and the Void xbps repository, with one credit line to upstream Vocalinux. Channels this fork does not publish are removed from navigation.
Every release is built from its tag alone by packaging/void/build-release.sh, shared by the tag workflow and local dry runs. Signs in a network-less container with the key mounted read-only and publishes to the tag release and the rolling latest release.
Model recommendation keyed to the installed build and free memory, fork-sourced Void templates, signed xbps release workflow on Gitea with the pinned repository key, niri injection guard and wtype-first order, tightened naming sweep, web copy fixes, and CI security and duplication fixes.
Replace the self-referential <repo-url-from-release-notes> placeholder
in the root README, the release-notes template, and the Void packaging
README with the concrete per-tag download prefix the build-xbps job
attaches the signed repo to. Static docs default TAG to the current
version; release.yml renders github.ref_name at publish time.
Fixes#29
Build every template in smoke-gate order, index the full repository and
sign packages plus metadata with the RSA4096 key, in the pinned Void
container via podman. Fail-closed without a key: no key file, no repo.
Ticket #29 (needs #27, #28).
Ticket xavierk/voculinux#28, needs #27. One documented command
(packaging/void/smoke.sh, just void-smoke) lints, builds, installs
and smoke-tests every template under packaging/void/srcpkgs in
dependency order in the pinned Void container via podman, failing
fast naming the package with the harness echoing each stage.
The gate caught three latent breaks in the per-package harness and
the app template, fixed here:
- container-main.sh scoped the libggml scan to python3-pywhispercpp
and gave the leaf packages their own import smokes (pynput by
presence: no display in the container), failing loudly for
packages without a smoke recipe;
- voculinux template drops the deprecated wrksrc override (xbps-src
renames the single-top-dir archive itself; xlint rejects wrksrc)
and builds the PEP 517 wheel (the sdist ships no setup.py);
- post_install promotes the pre-rename sdist names (desktop entry
content, icons, /usr/bin launchers) to the renamed identity, and
the payload smoke rejects pre-rename leftovers in OS-visible paths.
Offline policy tests (tests/test_void_smoke_gate.py) pin the gate to
the template set, the app-last order, podman-only pinned inputs and
per-package failure identity; the #27 policy tests and the rename
sweep cover the harness and template contracts.
Ticket xavierk/voculinux#27, built on #18 (rename) plus the #25/#26
dependency templates. The template builds the app from the canonical
checksum-verified release sdist, depends on Void's interpreter, GTK,
desktop bindings and packaged Python libraries, and installs the
renamed desktop entry, icons and a packaged-install marker. No speech
models, no vendored wheels, no pip at build or install time.
Packaged installs keep background update checks as a signal, but every
update affordance presents the package-manager path
(src/vocalinux/utils/packaging.py). Also corrects the Void distro
inventory (Ayatana provider name; ydotool marked absent) and regens
the installer map.
Conflict in packaging/void/tool_checksums.txt (add/add with #25):
kept #26 rows (base-image digest + void-packages pin the kept
build.sh reads) with the #25 header reference folded in. #25's
base-image digest differed; flagged for re-pin on next bump.
Spec #16 ticket #26: Void template for the whisper.cpp Python binding,
built from the pinned 1.5.0 sdist with the Vulkan backend (default-on
option), shared libraries, and portable CPU flags. Includes the podman
build/smoke harness, pinned base-image pins, and offline policy tests.
Refs: #26
Ticket: #25
Two in-repo void-packages-layout templates under packaging/void/srcpkgs:
python3-pynput 1.8.2 (new; Void does not ship it) and python3-PyAudio
0.2.14 (updated local template; Void ships 0.2.12, below the project's
pyaudio>=0.2.13 floor). Versions and checksums track uv.lock and
requirements/runtime.txt; pynput post_patch strips setup_requires so the
build never fetches helpers over the network (setuptools-lint and twine
are not in void-packages). No noverifypydeps/nopyprovides anywhere.
Adds tests/test_void_small_deps.py (offline policy test): template
layout and metadata shape, lock/export/floor pins, checksum pins,
no verification-disabling options, linux dep coverage, verified-only
dependency names, and the digest-pinned base image in
packaging/void/tool_checksums.txt.
Verified: xlint clean on both templates; both packages build with
xbps-src in the pinned ghcr.io/void-linux/void-glibc-full container
(podman) and install in a fresh container with pyaudio 0.2.14
importing against PortAudio V19.6.0.
