Good news: As of the current state of investigation VoidLinux is not affected by this backdoor.
If you’ve ever had trouble manually updating the mirror XBPS uses, fear no more! You can now use the xmirror(1) utility from the xmirror package to select a mirror, either interactively (by running xmirror with root privileges) or directly using xmirror --set.

As of this change in void-packages, all services provided by packages should start to include log sub-services that use vlogger(8) as they are updated, if they did not already. This means that service logs for all services should go to syslog now, where they can be captured by a syslog daemon.
Did you know that Void has over 20 mirrors? We have mirrors all over the world, but just having a bunch of servers isn’t enough to effectively deliver package updates to all Void users. A mirror that is nearby can have extremely good performance if you know it’s there and switch to it, but for many people what we would like to offer is just a URL that works anywhere in the world to provide the best download experience available in that location. When you look at what we’re trying to achieve, its pretty clear we’d be trying to build a content delivery network (CDN) for Void.
The US mirror, repo-us.voidlinux.org, is currently having hardware issues and is no longer syncing with the other mirrors for the time being. Until this is fixed, switching to another mirror is recommended. There are several other mirrors located in the US that are still operational.
Are you ready for Hacktoberfest 2022? Void Linux is! We’re excited to be participating for our 6th year. Contributions that help to address our out-of-date packages queue are especially welcome. This is a great way to dip your feet into the world of Linux distro package management and what happens behind the scenes to provide a wide selection of packages and make sure your system remains up to date.
