alpine-pkg-orchestrator

WHAT IS THIS?

This tool is used for building a package in several versions of alpine at the same time using alpine-build-pkg and docker-alpine-devel.

Examples of this are alpine-pkg-nodejs and alpine-pkg-nodejs-lts

HOW DO I USE IT?

First, put it somewhere in your $PATH (I put it on ~/bin/) and run it like this:

alpine-pkg-orchestrator -t v3.2 -p libuv

It expects a directory with the alpine version to build for (edge does not need the v as a prefix) and inside, a directory with the package name that will have an APKBUILD. In this case it would look like:

./v3.2
./v3.2/libuv
./v3.2/libuv/APKBUILD

And will leave the resulting packages in ./v3.2/pkgs but the output is configurable, doing:

alpine-pkg-orchestrator -t v3.2:/tmp -p libuv

That way, instead of using ./v3.2/pkgs it will use /tmp. But if you were to build just one version at the time you could use alpine-build-pkg, so the magic isn't there, is in this:

alpine-pkg-orchestrator -t v3.2 -t v3.3 -t edge -p libuv

And that will build all those versions and will leave the resulting packages inside each version's /pkgs like:

./v3.2
./v3.2/pkgs
./v3.3
./v3.3/pkgs
./edge
./edge/pkgs
