Description

Add instructions to install beets on Void Linux to the Get started section.

To Do

- [ ] Documentation. (If you've added a new command-line flag, for example, find the appropriate page under docs/ to describe it.)

  • Changelog. (Add an entry to docs/changelog.rst to the bottom of one of the lists near the top of the document.)
    - [ ] Tests. (Very much encouraged but not strictly required.)

Thanks for the addition!

By the way, are you also a maintainer of the Void Linux package? I’ve been curious about how updates get rolled out. I saw that the beets package is on 2.3.0, but 2.3.1 is already available.

Void Linux is contributor driven, there's a single big git repo (https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages) where we push updates to the build templates, not too different from Arch or Alpine.
If there's an update to a package, either the maintainer or someone else pushes a template update and once it gets merged, it gets built in the official repos.

I'm not the maintainer of the package tho, no.

Thank you for the clarification, highly appreciated!
