Using Alpine Linux repositories

Using Alpine Linux repositories

The packages in Alpine Linux repositories are more updated than iSH's own repositories and have packages whose size > 512 MB as well. To use it to replace iSH's own repositories, run:

grep -v "file:///ish/apk/" /etc/apk/repositories | dd of=/etc/apk/repositories bs=4194304
echo https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/main >> /etc/apk/repositories
echo https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/community >> /etc/apk/repositories

Note : The reason why iSH has its own repositories is so that the app is entirely self-contained so that iSH with apk can pass app review. The repositories are a pseudo apk filesystem mounted on /ish/apk that when read, will actually download from App Store as on-demand resources. It also means that Apple can review all packages in iSH's repositories.
