I’m fairly new to live coding and was previously trying to learn Sonic-Pi but it proved nearly impossible to package for Void Linux. I’m hoping this is more straightforward. Could someone help me write a template(s) for all the packages necessary for this to work on Void? [this](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/Manual.md) is the guide on packaging. If basically someone could tell me which packages are necessary for building and which are used on runtime, that’d be a great help and I can write the template(s) myself. Thanks!
