Support for apk

[m4lin]

I want to suggest a new step

Which tool is this about? Where is its repository?

https://github.com/alpinelinux/apk-tools

Which operating systems are supported by this tool?

Linux: Alpine linux (https://www.alpinelinux.org/) and ~Chimera Linux (https://chimera-linux.org/) as far as i know~, but can be installed in other distros PS Chimera is still in pre alpha hence not to be considered yet

What should Topgrade do to figure out if the tool needs to be invoked?

apk command exists apk --version

Which exact commands should Topgrade run?

apk update apk upgrade apk fix (if any error above)

thanks

This was already implemented: https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade/blob/14753a14e70d2931ec71eebf23f93e7060288e58/src/steps/os/linux.rs#L184-L190

Have you encountered some problems with it?

@SteveLauC Problem is that alpine doesn't have sudo by default and topgrade fails silently without any warning even when executed with root privileges:

log without sudo

``` alpine-vm:~# whoami root alpine-vm:~# topgrade ── 18:46:24 - System update ──────────────── ── 18:46:24 - Containers ─────────────────── ── 18:46:24 - Summary ────────────────────── Containers: OK alpine-vm:~# topgrade --verbose ...

Looks like in the original feature request issue, sudo is not required: https://github.com/r-darwish/topgrade/issues/736
