alpine package

[progrium]

Entrykit works great with Alpine and it's a bit cumbersome to set up Entrykit. curl .. | tar .. and then entrykit --symlink. If made an Alpine package it could be as simple as apk-install entrykit.

Here is a working APKBUILD.

I opted not to install the symlinks because I haven't figured out how to easily make sure these get uninstalled correctly. We may want a --unlink before we do that, because entrykit itself is the source of truth for the list of commands.

Having never packaged for alpine before, do we maintain this in tree, in a branch, in a separate repo, ...?

Okay. I did more reading and see now the process is to submit it as a patch to the aports repo. I'll do this now!! :)

[progrium]

Update?

[tilgovi]

Should I submit it to community or testing?

[progrium]

Not sure. @andyshinn do you know what would be best?

[andyshinn]

Submit it to testing first.

[tilgovi]

Thanks to help from @mattaitchison, we have mattaitchison/entrykit-apk now and I'm waiting to submit the 0.4.0r1 to alpine testing, but there are DNS issues currently.

We can close this.

[tilgovi]

Successfully, I think, submitted it to the alpine-aports list. Haven't received a bounce/spam notification this time, at least :). We'll see if it pops up in the archives later.

[andyshinn]

They have a patchwork program that grabs patches for review. You can use it to verify stuff got through. In this case, yes it did: http://patchwork.alpinelinux.org/patch/1779/.

[tilgovi]

Thanks, @andyshinn!

[tilgovi]

Published in testing. Done.
