+> NOTE: if you build a package with a custom option, and that package is available
+in an official void repository, an update will ignore those options. Put that package
+on `hold` mode via `xbps-pkgdb(8)`, i.e `xbps-pkgdb -m hold foo` to ignore updates
+with `xbps-install -u`. Once the package is on `hold`, the only way to update it

Permanent global package build options can be set via `XBPS_PKG_OPTIONS` variable in the
`etc/conf` configuration file. Per package build options can be set via
`XBPS_PKG_OPTIONS_<pkgname>`.
