Yes, me too. I've used void linux quite a bit which does use some BSD components like mandoc but is still gcc and GNU coreutils. I can understand the logic of using the packaging system from Alpine. I rather like pkg on FreeBSD, it feels more consistent, predictable and simpler than either deb/apt or rpm/dnf.
- q66 5y agoi did intend to use pkg at first, however, after some experimenting apk turned out to be the better option (there are things pkg still doesn't support - such as version constraints, getting it to work on musl is a fair amount of patching, its shlib scanning is semi-broken on Linux, and its repo indexing is insufficient for my purposes)
- maybeben 5y agothe shlib dependency stuff is pretty broken even in FreeBSD. apk is probably my favorite package manager experience. cool project, thank you
