I'd like to request support for Void Linux build images in builds.sr.ht. I plan on hosting a variety of Elixir apps on a Void Linux VPS, and Elixir releases require the build/deploy machines to have the same architecture. I want to host my repositories on Sourcehut and trigger automatic builds/deployments with builds.sr.ht, but I can't since it doesn't have a Void Linux image.

Best,
Derek

If you're interested in creating and being the maintainer / point of 
contact for the scripts to generate the needed build image, then, well, 
standard policy is "patches welcome", I believe. :)

Instructions for adding new build images can be found at:

Hi Derek,

FYI: you should be able to build using the alpine image, which is also
`86_64-unknown-linux-musl`. There's actually no issues with the elixir
code, which bytecode is processed by BEAM (= the Erlang VM): what's
problematic is the potentially bundled ERTS (Erlang Runtime System) and
NIFs (Native Implemented Functions, e.g. bindings to C code).

You might want to take a look at [1]. Feel free to contact me off-list
if you have questions.
