Recently I got myself into package sd-boot from the Systemd project into Alpine Linux. I previously packaged it as an April’s fools joke for Void Linux Here.

Recently the community-oriented password manager KeePassXC made a new major release, 2.5.0.

In this new release there was a really important change, the implementation of the secrets API from Freedesktop.

Some time ago, Alpine Linux started using their self-hosted GitLab instance to accept contributions via merge requests.

I wanted to move to it immediately as using their GitLab instance is planned to be the main repo (it is currently a mirror to git.alpinelinux.org).

Some time ago maxice8 had told me about gemnator, a simple script written in SH to generate Void Linux build template files for Ruby Gems. It pulls the neccessary data (e.g. the newest version, dependencies etc.) from the rubygems.org API and generates a ready to use template from it. I really liked the idea and wanted to improve on it, e.g. by adding more sources to query (such as crates.io, metacpan.org) and adding more functionality to it, like updating existing templates.
