+# Void Linux packaging
+
+XBPS templates for DankMaterialShell on [Void Linux](https://voidlinux.org).
+
+| Package | Source repo | Template |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `dms` | DankMaterialShell | [`srcpkgs/dms/template`](srcpkgs/dms/template) |
+| `dms-greeter` (optional) | DankMaterialShell | [`srcpkgs/dms-greeter/template`](srcpkgs/dms-greeter/template) |
+| `dgop` | AvengeMedia/dgop | maintained in the **danklinux** repo (`distro/void/srcpkgs/dgop`) |
+| `danksearch` | AvengeMedia/danksearch | maintained in the **danklinux** repo (`distro/void/srcpkgs/danksearch`) |
+
+All build from source.
+
+## Distribution
+
+These packages target the official
+[`void-linux/void-packages`](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages)
+repository, so they install with a plain `xbps-install dms` and no extra setup.
+Most dependencies (`quickshell`, `matugen`, `cava`, `niri`, `greetd`, …) are
+already in Void; `dgop` and `danksearch` are packaged alongside in the
+[danklinux repo](https://github.com/AvengeMedia/danklinux/tree/master/distro/void).
+
+The templates here are the source of truth: copy each into a void-packages
+checkout at `srcpkgs/<pkg>/template` to build or submit it. Only tagged releases
+are packaged (no `-git`/nightly variant).
+
+## Dependencies
+
+Installing `dms` automatically pulls in `quickshell`, `accountsservice`, `dgop`,
+and `matugen` (which drives the Material You theming). The rest are optional —
+install whichever features you want:
+
+| Package | Enables |
+| --- | --- |
+| `danksearch` | launcher / filesystem search |
+| `cava` | audio visualiser widget |
+| `qt6-multimedia` | system sound feedback |
+| `qt6ct` | Qt app theming |
+| `wtype` | virtual keyboard input |
+| `power-profiles-daemon` | power profile control |
+| `cups-pk-helper` | printer management |
+| `NetworkManager` | network control |
+| `i2c-tools` | external-monitor brightness (DDC) |
+| `niri` / `hyprland` / `sway` | a Wayland compositor (niri is the team's choice) |
+
+## Building & testing
+
+Inside a `void-packages` checkout (symlink or copy these `srcpkgs/<pkg>` dirs in):
+
+```sh
+# build the dependency packages first (dms requires dgop)
+./xbps-src pkg dgop
+./xbps-src pkg danksearch
+./xbps-src pkg dms
+./xbps-src pkg dms-greeter      # optional
+
+# lint (xlint ships in the xtools package)
+xlint srcpkgs/dms/template
+
+# install the built packages
+sudo xbps-install --repository=hostdir/binpkgs dms dgop
+```
+
+`dms` requires Go ≥ 1.26 in the build environment (per `core/go.mod`).
+
+## Running the shell
+
+DMS is a user-level Wayland shell with **no system service** — start it from your
+compositor's autostart, e.g. niri:
+
+```kdl
+spawn-at-startup "dms" "run"
+```
+
+or Hyprland: `exec-once = dms run`.
+
+## Greeter (optional)
+
+Install `dms-greeter`, then let the CLI do the setup:
+
+```sh
+dms greeter enable      # configures greetd + the Void seat/PAM bits below
+dms greeter sync        # optional: share theming with the shell
+```
+
+`dms greeter enable` handles what logind does automatically on systemd: it points
+greetd at the greeter, enables `seatd`, adds `_greeter` to the `_seatd`/`video`/
+`input` groups, and adds `pam_rundir` to `/etc/pam.d/greetd` (so the post-login
+session gets an `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`). A Wayland compositor and a working DRM device
+(`/dev/dri/card*`) are required and not pulled in automatically.
