1288 heimdal-1.3.3-r0.apk
1324 dahdi-linux-grsec-2.6.32.16-r5.apk
1464 net-snmp-5.5-r2.apk
1492 kamailio-3.0.2-r4.apk

8964 perl-5.10.1-r1.apk
19860 asterisk-1.6.2.9-r0.apk
23216 linux-grsec-2.6.32.16-r2.apk
24748 clamav-0.96.1-r0.apk
25552 samba-3.5.4-r0.apk
Any objections if I remove samaba and clamav from alpine iso? Those
will only be available from http repos.
Other packages you think we dont really need on the iso? dovecot? man/groff?
Other options might be to have an alpine-router spin, and fill up the
alpine.iso with 700MB data. (currently the full thing is almost 1GB).
Maybe an alpine-full USB image with everything? who uses cdrom now
days anyway?
The problem with the "full" version is that it will double disk usage
on mirrors so I think it would be nice if we could avoid the "full"
version.
I'm open to ideas.

Crazy idea: Mini-iso only.
Chances are, if someone downloaded the iso, they can download individual
packages (and burn their own iso if necessary)

Hi,
I would suggest to create a minimal distro that includes the very-basic
stuff that would support networking and internet connectivity.
After that maby some scripts like
alpine-pbx
apline-fw
alpine-web
alpine-proxy
alpine-mails
alpine-mysql
etc
that would download the required packages for each.
a good "apk show package" with some description of the package will be
nice though like "apt-get show package"
Regards,
Harry.

We have alpine-mini.iso for that.

hm... the problem is tha the index is signed.
We have the apk cache:
http://alpinelinux.org/wiki/How_to_enable_APK_caching
You'd still know the exact package names you need (apk add postfix ... etc)

Try 'apk info -a package'
(Timo: we maybe want apk info <package> do the same as apk info -a by default)
One of the ideas with apk-tools is to keep as little info as possible
in the apk index. Adding long description for each package would make
the index size many times bigger (and apk would be slower). Instead,
we provide the URL where user can find more info about the software.

Or maybe just -dw or similar?

We could make a separate long descriptions file. But I'm not sure if
it's worth the trouble.
