Cleanup build

[dimaqq]

What's required to build awaitwhat in a python:alpine container:

• apk update
• apk upgrade (dunno)
• apk add build-base (to get gcc)
• apk add libffi-dev (I guess I get it?)
• apk add openssl-dev (why?)

Hi there!
I haven't try tu build it yet but I think you should check this

Recently I was working on a project with alpine and we had to switch to another distribution (debian buster) because it became a huge problem for installing python packages

Hi Javier!

I think the Linux base doesn't matter here (also I reject the alpine flame). I'm quite sure it's going to be same whether the build base if alpine or ubuntu.

I think, the cause is poetry: as long as I don't distribute compiled wheels (which I should), the C extension needs to be compiled at install time, which explains gcc via build-base. However, the package doesn't use ffi or openssl header files, so why are those needed? I seems poetry's builder somehow needs that...
