Hello,

I'm using an Alpine-based Python container for automatic building/testing of 
my backup and restore tool for various sources. The tool internally uses tools 
provided by upstream database vendors such as pg_dump for database sources. As 
- at least for Postgres - the tools can change quite damatically between major 
versions, I try to CI-test all upstream-supported versions, so I install 
postgres16-client down to postgres12-client and test my tool using the correct 
client tools for the corresponding Postgres-Servers within the pipeline runs.

With the current release of Alpine 3.19 postgres12-client is not longer found. 
In 3.18, I could add postgres16-client using the edge repository; now I'm 
looking for a way to install postgres12-client using an older repo. I tried

apk add postgresql12-client --repository=https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/
alpine/v3.18/main

but that doesn't work.

Is there a way to get the old version installed in current Alpine or do I need 
to stick with 3.18 for the time being?

TIA
