Heads up if you’re using Alpine images to host your services or run build pipelines. Alpine’s packages are going to be less current unless some others maintainers are found to pick up the slack.
There are a lot of distros to maintain packages for, hence a lot of work to be done. Developing a program is difficult enough, but add on the task of maintaining packages and the work goes up by an order of magnitude. That’s why solutions like Snap and Flatpak were created, so packaging could be distro-agnostic.
