To add a little to that second part, I'd say this is really meant to be "built on your own", following that brief example at the end of the README. The releases are more of a convenience thing.

You will need Void's package manager XBPS installed, though. It can be harmlessly installed on other distros and won't (shouldn't?) interfere with the host package manager.

Yep xbps can be installed on other distros without causing issues. I believe the void project even distributes static musl binaries.
