The abuild package provides scripts you need when creating packages for Alpine Linux. The abuild package and its friends are installed automatically along with the <tt>alpine-sdk</tt> package.

{{Cmd|apk add alpine-sdk}}

The [https://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/abuild/tree/ git repository] always contains the latest version of the scripts, example-files, and makefiles.
