Can anyone help fill in the picture? What exactly is the difference between `apk add ...` and `apk fix ...`? What is the difference between `apk add -u ...` and `apk fix -u ...` and `apk fix -r ...` and `apk upgrade` (except for the fact that the last operates on a broader set of packages)? What exactly is the effect of `apk add --initdb`? What exactly is the effect of the "generic options" --clean-protected and --purge? I see that they have to do with .apk-new files, but would appreciate hearing them explained more fully. What exactly is the behavior of `apk audit`? Does it work only in cooperation with lbu? What is the exact effect of the --backup and --recursive options for this command? If I do get to understand these things better, I'll try to help make sure they're better documented. -- Dubiousjim dubiousjim@gmail.com --- Unsubscribe: alpine-devel+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org Help: alpine-devel+help@lists.alpinelinux.org ---
