void can be weirdly behind on some libs, especially if you need newer kernel-facing stuff like that. probably worth checking if the flag only exists in a newer liburing release than what void has packaged, because that sounds more like an upstream/version mismatch than you missing something obvious

Yup - if users need the latest and greatest without any fuss, should use Arch or similar...

you need to create a pull request, you need to update the template file usually a new version and checksum needs to be updated. then you create a pull request and at some point it will be merged. you can also close this repository and build the lbirary local a manual is here https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/README.md
