Void Linux updates Monero wallet packages to v0.18.1.2

A Void Linux1 team member has merged2 kevcrumb’s PR3 to update the Monero CLI and GUI wallet packages4 to the latest version (0.18.1.2) earlier today:

Our update to Monero 0.18 has been accepted, meaning that Void and Split Linux users alike can again rely on their package manager to obtain the version compatible with the current Monero network. (kevcrumb)5

kevcrumb6 is the creator and maintainer of the Void-based Split Linux7, an operating system optimized for safely navigating hostile environments.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.


Update: kevcrumb posted some background info for the Monero community8.
