Description

Throne is a maintained fork of Nekoray, a proxy client supporting many protocols. It is a frontend to Sing-Box and an essential app for people who live in nations with Internet censorship (China, Iran, some third world countries).

A native installation is the best way to use this app and its similar counterparts. Flatpak doesn't manage VPN/Proxy clients very well. HomeBrew doesn't support Musl and cannot be installed on the Musl version of VoidLinux. Pre built binaries and AppImages are built with Glibc support. So the only ways to run this program on VoidLinux sanely is either compile it by hand, or have it in the repository and install it like any other native app.

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

System, Compiled

Research direction

No Void package file or test is identified in the request. Start by reviewing the repository's package requirements and the Throne project at the linked homepage, then determine the native build and runtime dependencies. Done means a released Throne package is accepted by Void's packaging process and installs natively.
