Since we already have README.voidlinux, I discussed the installation process with the upstream developer. They pointed out that requiring users to manually run setcap after each update results in a poor user experience.

Would you be open to potentially replacing the README instructions with an INSTALL script that applies setcap automatically, or do you prefer to keep the current manual approach to avoid modifying system capabilities during package installation?

Do not set the capability by default. There are several options for running the tool, so it is not appropriate to choose one for users. Void Linux expects users to be knowledgeable about the software that they install and make appropriate choices for themselves.

Along those lines, it seems like most of the information in README.voidlinux doesn't belong there. These files are to note particular deviations from standard behavior because of specific aspects of the Void packages, not general how-to information. Telling users that they require elevated privileges or that certain helpers should be in user paths is the job of upstream. Trying to document that knowledge here is likely to lead to stale information.

Finally, please fix your commit messages. You are missing spaces following the commons before the word "update".
