update-kernel doesn’t use the apk cache
When you update the kernel and modloop using the handy update-kernel
script, it doesn’t use the apk cache at /etc/apk/cache
which is quite inconsiderate since in that step many linux-firmware-* packages are installed.
The actual fix would probably be as easy as adding —cache-dir /etc/apk/cache
to the _apk
function but I’m unsure about other implications it may have.
