Base System
grub 2.12
When upgrading existing installations using grub on UEFI systems, make sure to update the installed bootloader before rebooting, otherwise your machine might not boot.
The problem is that grub added new configuration that executes fwsetup --is-supported. The problem is that grub 2.06 does not supported the --is-supported argument yet, causing grub to unconditionally try to reboot into firmware.
Here is an example assuming the default setup. Don't blindly copy this examples but verify what's applicable to your system.
EFI
# grub-install --target=$target --efi-directory=$efi_directory \ --bootloader-id=alpine --boot-directory=/boot --no-nvram # install -D $efi_directory/EFI/alpine/grub$fwa.efi $efi_directory/EFI/boot/boot$fwa.efi
- target
- The relevant target for your system
- efi_directory
- Either /boot/efi or /boot. Run
awk '$2 ~ /boot/ && $3 ~ /fat|msdos/ { print $2 }' /proc/mountsto confirm. - fwa
- The respective firmware architecture for your system
Short-term work-around
A short-term work-around to get the system bootable again is to restore the backup configuration:
cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg.back /boot/grub.cfg
This should allow you to boot the system again to fix it permanently. This will be reverted again when either grub or the kernel is updated again.
This will only work if update-grub has not been executed any more since the upgrade to grub 2.12.
Others
Redis
Due to the relicensing of Redis to RSALv2+SSPLv1, a non-free license model, the BSD-3-Clause licensed fork Valkey has replaced Redis in the main package repository.
A valkey-compat package is provided with symlinks and group for easy Redis replacement.
The redis aport has been moved to the community repository, with a shorter support cycle, and will not be upgraded past 7.2.x due to the license change.
Another replacement alternative, the LGPL-3.0-only licensed fork Redict is also available in the community repository.
yq
yq was renamed to yq-go. https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/16052
aws-cli
Due to incompatibility issues with Python 3.12, aws-cli has been temporarily disabled until the issue is resolved by upstream. See the corresponding problem at upstream: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/8342
GNOME 46
