No emacs package available
I installed a base Alpine system for testing free/open source software on Alpine. I created a user per https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Include:Setup\_your\_system\_and\_account\_for\_building\_packages . I’m trying to add the new user to sudo group and install SSH keys.
Unfortunately I do not use vi; instead I use emacs.
Attempting to install emacs results in:
# apk add emacs
ERROR: unsatisfied constraints:
emacs (missing):
required by: world[emacs]
Please provide the emacs package.
You can find a recipe for a minimal emacs build at https://superuser.com/a/1028960/173513 .
(lsb_release is another package that was missing but would be helpful to have. I tried to use ‘lsb_release -a’ to find the version of Alpine Linux for this bug report. Probably not worth another bug report, though…).
