Package Mercure for Alpine Linux #972

Open erseco opened 2 weeks ago

erseco commented 2 weeks ago

Request to create an Alpine Linux-compatible package for the Mercure.rocks hub. Given Alpine's popularity in lightweight and containerized environments, having a dedicated package will simplify deployment and improve compatibility.

Alpine's widespread use in containers makes native support valuable for seamless deployments.

Hi, that would be great but to be honest I've no idea how to do that. That should be quite easy as Mercure is a pure-Go program that compiles as a static binary.

Would you be able to provide any guidance, or would you be open to doing it (I can help of course)?

Hi @dunglas, thank you for your response. I made a PR to set this up here. The PR builds Linux packages for the main distributions, simplifying deployments in lightweight and containerized environments.

To achieve this, I used fpm within goreleaser to build .deb, .rpm, and .apk Alpine packages . I'm happy to iterate on it or address any feedback you may have!
