APK tools static binary #32

Closed douglas-raillard-arm closed 2 years ago

douglas-raillard-arm commented 2 years ago

The current script dowloads: https://github.com/alpinelinux/apk-tools/releases/download/v2.10.4/apk-tools-2.10.4-x86_64-linux.tar.gz

This binary seems outdated (2019) and new releases do not include a binary anymore (only sources). Should alpine-chroot-install switch to a new provider ?

I found that: https://pkgs.org/search/?q=apk-tools-static which also handily provides an aarch64 variant of the binary, which I am interested in in addition to x86. This would provide an up-to-date version of apk and also close https://github.com/alpinelinux/alpine-chroot-install/issues/27

If that seems an acceptable solution I'm happy to make the PR to switch to that new source

Upstream finally provides static binaries again, but on gitlab.alpinelinux.org instead of GitHub (MR !70).
