README for Adélie Linux Package Set
=====================================

* **Adélie Linux Developers and Users**, contributions

Introduction
============
This repository contains the Adélie Linux package set. It is used by the
Adélie Linux build system for package building to create the repository used
by Adélie's APK package manager.
Licenses
`````````
As the Adélie Linux project is an open-source Linux distribution, packages
contained in this repository must also be provided under a license recognised
by the OSI_. A separate repository may be provided in the future for certain
non-free components, such as device driver firmware.
.. _OSI: http://opensource.org/licenses/category
Changes
```````
Any changes to this repository - additions, removal, or version bumps - must
be reviewed before being pushed to the master branch. There are no exceptions
to this rule. For security-sensitive updates, contact the Security Team at
sec-bugs@adelielinux.org.
Contents
========
This section contains a high-level view of the contents of this repository.
It does not list every package available; it is merely a guide to help you
find what you need.
``system``: System-level packages
`````````````````````````````````
The ``system`` directory contains special packages used by Adélie for core
system functionality. This directory is kept separate from ``user`` to
facilitate sharing of user packages with other APK-based distributions.
``user``: User packages
```````````````````````
The ``user`` directory contains packages that a user would typically be
interested in installing. Desktop applications, server software (also known as
*daemons*), and other useful packages can be found here.
``nonfree``: Bad packages
`````````````````````````
The ``nonfree`` directory contains packages that are under a restrictive or
commercial license. You need to read the license agreements to these packages
before installing them. Binary drivers for devices like high-end graphics
devices and wireless network controllers can be found here, as well as some
limited commercial software where it is legal for us to provide them.
Where it is not legal for us to redistribute a non-free package, you will need
to build it yourself and install it on your system manually.
Usage
=====
This section contains usage information for this repository.
As an overlay
`````````````
This repository can be added as an overlay to any system running APK, which
at the time of this writing includes Alpine Linux, postmarketOS, and a few
others. However, please do not add ``system`` or ``nonfree`` to a computer
running a different distribution unless you are fully aware of the concerns
surrounding mixing packages in such a manner. None of the packages in the
``system`` repository are useful for an Alpine computer, and some packages
(such as ``baselayout`` or ``adelie-base``) may in fact damage your Alpine
installation if installed. Please be careful.
The domain ``distfiles.adelielinux.org`` is a round-robin for all available
Adélie mirrors. You may add a repository named above to
``/etc/apk/repositories``:
::
https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/$version/$repo
Where ``$version`` is the version of Adélie Linux you are running, or
``current`` for automatic upgrades, or ``dev`` for a rolling-release
style distribution (which may be unstable - you have been warned!).
``$repo`` should be replaced with the name of the repository you are wanting
to use, such as ``user``.
Run ``apk update`` to update the package index on your local system. The
packages will then be available to you.
As a repository
```````````````
The Adélie Linux system is preconfigured to use packages in ``system`` and
``user`` for APK. No configuration is required. If you wish to add
``nonfree``, see the instructions above, noting that ``$repo`` should be
``nonfree`` in this case.
