aports
Deprecation of berkley db
Oracle has changed the license of bdb to AGPL, making it unsuitable to link it to packages with a GPG incompatible license. This means we decided to remove the package from aports and fix all dependent packages.
For postfix, this means using lmdb and dropping support for hash and btree databases. Before upgrading, update all references of these types in /etc/postfix/main.cf to lmdb
Switching from busybox ifupdown to ifupdown-ng
Alpine Linux switched from the busybox ifupdown to ifupdown-ng as default implementation. This version is compatible with debian ifupdown and busybox ifupdown, but please read the readme and the admin guide.
GCC10
GCC has been updated to version 10. Noteworthy changes are two options that are enabled by default now: -fno-common and -fstrict-aliasing, which may cause build issues for projects that have not been fixed yet.
