So, I want to install the latest version of the "Librewolf" package available in Edge on my Alpine Linux v3.23 install, I don't want to switch my repos to edge, no, I just want to install that specific version. Since the version available in 3.23 is fixed and doesn't get updates all the time, which isn't recommended for a browser. Btw, why does chromium get updated to latest in stable but Firefox and Librewolf don't? Just asking. Anyway, to the point: do we have something like Debian "backports"? Like, being able to install a newer version of a package without substantially messing with my whole installation. And no: Flatpak for me is not an option, I prefer native packages
You can download
https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/librewolf-150.0.1_p1-r0.apk
and install that using `apk add --allow-untrusted <file>`.
