ah. I yes.

What i do is adding $HOME/.cache/apks first in /etc/apk/repositories

then i do:

abuild -r && apk add $package

if there are additional http repos in /etc/apk/repositories you can pick
some from local aports tree and some from network (to avoid build
everything)

I think apk add ./package.apk is supposed to work but is buggy.
