Alpine Pkg

[alexyao2015]

General description

Can you provide an precompiled version for Alpine and distribute it in the repository?

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

Precise steps to reproduce the behavior

Explicitly list all steps to reproduce. Preferably create a minimal example of the problem using standard command line tools. The more variables (apps, settings, etc.) that are involved the more difficult it is to debug. Also, please be sure to have read all of the README. It contains a lot of information regarding known system and user issues.

System information

Please provide as much of the following information as possible:

• [ ] mergerfs version: mergerfs -V
• [ ] mergerfs settings: cat /etc/fstab or the command line arguments
• [ ] Linux version: uname -a
• [ ] Versions of any additional software being used
• [ ] List of drives, filesystems, & sizes: df -h
• [ ] strace of application having problem: strace -f -o /tmp/app.strace.txt <cmd> or strace -f -p <appPID> -o /tmp/app.strace.txt
• [ ] strace of mergerfs while app tried to do it's thing: strace -f -p <mergerfsPID> -o /tmp/mergerfs.strace.txt

I'm not sure how packages make their way into the repo. I could look into creaking a package but I doubt I have the ability to add it upstream.

[alexyao2015]

Someone has already created a package for Alpine but it hasn't been updated. There is also a guide about it.

Hopefully, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Have you tried contacting the author? Nathan Caldwell [email protected] : https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/testing/mergerfs/APKBUILD

[alexyao2015]

I've already flagged it as being out of date, but it has not been updated as of now. I thought it would be better if there was an official package.

[trapexit]

Okay. I'll look into it.

I also would like to use mergerfs on Alpine linux for my new NAS system because it's a really lightweight OS. However, I have the same "problem", no official package yet and the contributed one is a little bit outdated. @trapexit : can you have a look?

As a side-node, I tried to use the statically-built amd64 binary but I have a problem when using /etc/fstab to mount a "mergerfs" filesystem: I will open another ticket for that.
