Hm, from what I can gather, Alpine updated buildah to 1.44 a bit too early. That new version also needed a new netavark version, at least 2.0.0, which isn't packaged in Alpine yet. See this bug: https://github.com/podman-container-tools/buildah/issues/6891

And the netavark 2.0.0 release notes, which explicitly mentions the buildah 1.44 dependency, and that packagers should update the packages together: https://github.com/containers/netavark/releases/tag/v2.0.0

gitlab.alpinelinux.org is unavailable at the moment. Linode reported the physical host is having issues and they need to perform emergency maintenance.

It took a long time, but our #riscv64 builder managed to finish building the community packages. At the worst, it had a backlog of more than 800 packages, but it managed to churn along the last couple of weeks.

We had it running on a HiFive P550 for a while. Even though it had faster cores, we had to move it back to the MilkV Pionieer.

We're trying some other riscv64 systems as well, to see if they serve as better builders.

A couple of weeks ago the riscv64 edge builder had ~300 packages to build to catch up.

I moved the builder from Hifive Premiere p550 to Milk-v Pioneer this week because it has not been able to catch up since the 3.24 release.

Yesterday it was 500+

Now it is 811.

I am setting up the Spacemit K3 but somehow I doubt it will be enough. We need to fix the build infra to scale horizontally.

📰 News on the postmarketOS and @alpinelinux conference:

* We are currently out of tickets, some people are on the waiting list already. We are looking into potentially making more spots available.

* The deadline for the Call for Contributions is in two weeks and four days (2026-07-31)!

PROTIP: if your talk/workshop/meetup/discussion round gets accepted, then you have a spot for sure even if you don't have a ticket yet. 😎

Looking forward to see everybody who is coming to Aachen!

Seems like it's been a busy week for the Alpine devs.

This weekend the repo upgrades linux-stable from 7.0.10 > 7.1.3; Plasma from 6.6.5 > 6.6.6. I'll be keeping an eye on the later. Ha.

Maybe I'll take a swipe at trying the 7800 XT (RDNA3) card in my main machine again to see if things have improved. It's too nice out to be screwing around in the lab today.

One slightly weird thing I had is that inbound #ipv6 traffic on both SSH and HTTPS was returning a "connection reset by peer" for a while. It seems to be working now, but if some IPv6 folks can check https://cablespaghetti.dev loads properly over v6 for them now, it would put my mind at rest.

Here's a script to backup to Backblaze B2 with just Jq as an additional dependency (and the included curl, tar, openssl etc.). It works so far...
