Aha, I thought the patch owner would chime up. Excellent. We'll put your
name on it.

The unmaintainedness of the old package is a bit of a saga.  Have a look
at #3920 #4514 #4969 and the irc logs for December if you have the time.

In short, issues were closed, others opened ... and the package ended up
in unmaintained. It isn't close to a working package and should have
been deleted from testing.

Your new APKBUILD, relayed by Mark Collin, built fine in edge after a
very minor tweak, and Mark has tested it privately.

I think we should delete the unmaintained package (built for #3920) and
push this one to testing (built for #4969)

Be my guest :)

Thanks for your all work on this on, there's been quite a bit of noise
about it.
