We are planning to update apk-tools to 3.0 in edge repository on July 1, 2025.We are keeping the apk 2 index and package formats for now, so everything *should* just work, but scripts parsing the output of apk may need to be adjusted.#AlpineLinux

I submitted a session "Why musl libc matters" to the All systems go! conference, but it got rejected. I take that as a "No it doesn't".Too bad. Would have been nice to talk with the systemd devs face to face.

@mirabilos Would you prefer we’d allow completely anonymous people make changes to the software millions run?

OpenSSL 3.5.3 introduces a regression that makes ssh break on openssl version check.https://github.com/openssl/project/issues/1621If you use Alpine Linux:- 3.22: make sure you get >=3.5.3-r1- edge: make sure you get >=3.5.3-r2Those include backports of upstream fixes.Sorry for the inconvenience.#AlpineLinux #OpenSSL #regression

@gregkh That was fun read! I'm missing RISC-V, and Alpine Linux machines though!

We are trying get the #AlpineLinux 3.23 builds complete so we tag first release candidate.Things getting in the way for that risk to get nuked at this point.Special thanks to those of you who help fix build issues rather than introduce new breakages!

getting closer #AlpineLinux 3.23 rc1. Only riscv64 and ppc64le builders left. riscv64 is just slow, and lots of ppc64le stuff appears to be broken

I'm still on the fence if I should try squeeze in linux-lts 6.18 kernel. It may delay the release with a day or two.

@ariadne there is a useless use of cat in there...What I like with apk (and alpine in general) is that as long as you have apk.static, busybox.static and /etc/apk/world you can recover from almost anything.

Please also wait if you are using ext4 on non x86_64. May be a good idea to have linux-stable as a backup kernel.

Hey,As a user of your WireGuard alpine package, I thought I'd let you know thatwireguard-tools version 1.0.20250521 has been released. Could you bump yourpackage?Thanks!I get this email from a bunch of random people, completely ignoring that it was bumped in May 2025 (https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/commit/main/wireguard-tools?id=4c98b0e381847dd9ba44a1f96da9e780621fcee4).How do I make it stop?

Seems like other distros get similar message. I wonder where it comes fromhttps://lists.snapcraft.io/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2021-December/019121.html

If you do security fix releases for your OSS software, please don't remove methods at the same time. And if you introduce anything that potentially could break things, please bump the major version number.https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/blob/8864ac407bba8607950025e0979c4c69bc7abc7b/CHANGES.rst#removalsNot there are critical security fixes that cannot be pushed to a linux distro without risking that stuff breaks.
