There is a test failing on arm32. We need to figure out why.

Maintainers needed a month ago

From Natanael Copa to ~alpine/devel

Hi!

We have got a lot of orphaned packages recently. I checked a few days
ago and there were 820 packages in total. Now it is below 800, and it
has been very encouraging to see so many step up. It is very
appreciated!

But there is still need for more help.

If you want to help maintain a package, please create a pull request
with the change in APKBUILD. Example commit:

That is actually an excellent question. Seems like there are no easy to
find instructions how to do so.

In the mail headers there is a line:

From Natanael Copa to ~alpine/devel

Hi!

The builders for alpine 3.18 are up and running and main repository is
built on all architectures.

This means that we are effectively in a feature freeze for 3.18. Please
be careful on what you push to edge until 3.18.0 is out. Specially for
things that affects the builds, like gcc, make, autotools, cmake etc.

I would also appreciate if we all could try fix as many bugs as
possible and work on getting the 3.18.0 release out. Please see
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues for the list of
issues. Please set the milestone to 3.18.0 for isses you think needs to
be fixed before 3.18.0
