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 (i.e uclibc-dev)
- Documentation files (incl. man pages) are placed in subpackages with -doc suffix (i.e expat-doc)
- Lua modules (not applications) are prefixed with lua-. (i.e lua-posix)
- Perl modules (not applications) are prefixed with perl-. (i.e perl-xml-parser)
- Python modules (not applications) are prefixed with py-. (i.e py-libxml2)
- Kernels and 3rdparty modules should be suffixed with the kernel flavor. (i.e -grsec or -vserver)
