As a new user trying to keep a docker image small but needing to compile some packages, it would be very, very helpful to include a detailed explanation of the `--virtual` parameter of `add` with examples of how to use it.

note on apk update
There is an --update-cache or -U option which can be used together with apk <anything> that will first perform an apk update. Might be worth mentioning that. --Ncopa 11:02, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
There is an --initdb option that does not even show in apk help command. Is this deprecated ? --Vkrishn (talk) 10:32, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
"Packages and Repositories" section - ftp still being used?
The stated section currently has the following example of a valid repo:
ftp://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v2.6/main
Is the ftp protocol still being used? The passage could then be updated to "v3.7". --John3-16 (talk) 22:43, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Troubleshooting - "apk-tools is old"
Could the following instruction be added? This may not yet have been tested on a system that is still exhibiting this error message:
If edge is not tagged, upgrade from one of the edge/main mirrors. For example:
sudo apk add --upgrade apk-tools --update-cache --repository http://dl-2.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/ --allow-untrusted

.boot_repository in package cache
