package apk
#Let’s run an alpine container in interactive mode to build our package. The tmp host directory is mapped to the packager user home directory.
podman run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)/tmp:/home/packager" alpine:3.15 sh
then open an sh as packager user
sudo -u packager sh
Now generate a pair of keys. Follow this step only for the first package as we can reuse the same keys for all other packages we need to build.
abuild-keygen -a -i
~/.abuild $ pwd
/home/packager/.abuild
~/.abuild $ ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 packager packager 64 Jan 15 04:57 abuild.conf
-rw------- 1 packager packager 1679 Jan 15 04:57 packager-63c387b1.rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 packager packager 451 Jan 15 04:57 packager-63c387b1.rsa.pub
Now need something to build, so let’s quickly create a APKBUILD file to build reposerve : /home/packager/glibc/main/glibc/APKBUILD
cd /home/packager/glibc/main/glibc
REPODEST is set to add an additional level in package directories to represent alpine version
REPODEST=~/packages/3.16 abuild -r
and after a few minutes you should have the reposerve binary packaged in /home/packager/packages/3.16/main/aarch64/.apk
Build docker
FROM alpine:3.15
# you should change this line to match the keys' filenames generated on previous step
COPY .abuild/packager-63c387b1.rsa.pub a.abuild/packager-63c387b1.rsa /etc/apk/keys/
COPY packages/3.16/main/aarch64/glibc-2.35-r0.apk /tmp/
RUN apk add /tmp/glibc-2.35-r0.apk
Releases
See the releases page for the latest download links. If you are using tools like localedef you will need the glibc-bin and glibc-i18n packages in addition to the glibc package.
Installing
The current installation method for these packages is to pull them in using wget or curl and install the local file with apk:
cp /home/packager/.abuild/*.rsa.pub /etc/apk/keys/
wget https://github.com/zhanglt/alpine-pkg-glibc-arm/releases/download/2.35-r0/glibc-2.35-r0.apk
apk add glibc-2.35-r0.apk
Locales
You will need to generate your locale if you would like to use a specific one for your glibc application. You can do this by installing the glibc-i18n package and generating a locale using the localedef binary. An example for en_US.UTF-8 would be:
wget https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases/download/2.35-r0/glibc-bin-2.35-r0.apk
wget https://github.com/sgerrand/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases/download/2.35-r0/glibc-i18n-2.35-r0.apk
apk add glibc-bin-2.35-r0.apk glibc-i18n-2.35-r0.apk
/usr/glibc-compat/bin/localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
