The Alpine Linux Package Policies describe some of the policies when creating packages.
Package Names
- All package names should be lowercase.
- Development files are placed in subpackages with -dev suffix (e.g. uclibc-dev)
- Documentation files (incl. man pages) are placed in subpackages with -doc suffix (e.g. expat-doc)
- Lua modules (not applications) are prefixed with lua-. (e.g. lua-posix)
- Perl modules (not applications) are prefixed with perl-. (e.g. perl-xml-parser)
- Python 2 modules (not applications) are prefixed with py2-. (e.g. py2-libxml2)
- Python 3 modules (not applications) are prefixed with py3-. (e.g. py3-libxml2)
- Kernels and third party modules should be suffixed with the kernel flavor. (e.g., -grsec, -vserver).
- Don't use - sign in kernel flavor name.
- Specify KERNEL_FLAVOR_DEFAULT as your kernel flavor if you want boot your kernel by default.
Package versions
- Package versions are similar to gentoo.
Licensing
- The license of the program should be based on the licenses approved by the Free Software Foundation or OSI.
- If you are unsure about the license, please ask in our IRC channel.
