I'm extremely sorry, I couldn't find any documentation on it.

In the alpine testing repo, there's a service management suite named 66.
I will be packaging frontends (analogous to openrc initscripts) for 66, for=
 alpine.
They will be the name of the binary "$pkgnam" with "-66" suffix; Named "$pk=
gnam-66"

In order to make these packages install by themselves, similar to "$pkgnam-=
openrc" if "openrc" is installed, I understood that there is a feature know=
n as "install_if".
But I am unable to find any info on how to use it, or even what exactly is =
it.

Help will be appreciated.
