Upstream: https://ayakael.net/forge/qubes-builder-alpine

## Description

This repository contains an implementation of a template builder for Alpine
Linux for usage by qubes-builder. Packages are pulled from a community repo
and packaged in an RPM that is installable by QubesOS.

### Current state
Alpine Linux as a QubesOS template is still a work and progress. It is highly
encouraged to make bug reports.

#### The yet-to-be-implemented list 
Thus the following use cases are still not supported / tested:
 * sys-net service VM
 * sys-firewall service VM
 * `qubes-vm-kernel-support` Not adapted for use on Alpine yet, due to it providing a Dracut module. In most cases, it is not necessary as Qubes provides the kernel. 
   This package is only neccessary when VM uses its own kernel, thus a hook is added to Dracut to generate the initrd for use within qubes.
