About making apk reliable and deterministic

Hello,

Reaching out because this is a recurring problem, e.g. https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/4823

People even blogged about it: https://medium.com/@stschindler/the-problem-with-docker-and-alpines-package-pinning-18346593e891

In our case, we started using the edge branch and once it failed we thought it was normal, so we switched to a pinned version… it worked… until Friday afternoon.

This is the command:

Screen_Shot_2019-10-21_at_10.15.52

And here’s the error (Friday, Oct. 18th):

Screen_Shot_2019-10-21_at_10.14.30

The thing is that right now apk is unreliable and non deterministic because old packages are being deleted.

So the question is: there’s any official mirror where we can find all the packages, including the old ones? Or they will be deleted anyways?

Thanks for your time and support!
