Build Your Own Packeage for Alpine Linux

I wanna run Alpine Linux in VirtualBox, and port the xf86-video-vboxvideo to Alpine as xf86-video-vboxvideo is simpler than virtualbox-additions.

The following is steps to build the package.

1. Install essentail packages:

   apk add alpine-sdk
   abuild-keygen -a
   

2. Create user to build package

   adduser va
   addgroup va abuild
   echo "va ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
   

3. Fetch aports and build the package

   git clone https://github.com/longlene/aports.git ~/aports
   cd ~/aports/testing/xf86-video-vboxvideo
   abuild -r
   

4. Add the package to system

   apk add --allow-untrusted --repository /home/va/packages/testing xf86-video-vboxvideo
