Feel free to think "Void Package Management" or something if it helps you remember its name, but please note that it's NOT a "package manager" in the nitpickers understanding of the word - especially vpm shouldn't be confused with XBPS - vpm is just an addon helper tool for XBPS to make your life easier. That's it.
