Repositories don’t work: Proposition to put this in /etc/apk/repositories

[404oops]

My 200mbps internet won't budge when it comes to downloading APKINDEX files, so these repos might be useful for future releases:

http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/main
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/community
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/main
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community

We have no plans to change the default repositories in iSH at this time. That being said, we would very much like to hear more about APKINDEX not downloading: is this something that you can consistently reproduce? Are you behind a firewall or any other non-standard network connection?

I'm on an iPad, the connection is not limited, nor throttled via Xcode

I could confirmed this issue ,but I “fixed” it

1. I fellowed the wiki to add the repositories

wangbaoshandeiPad:~# grep -v "file:///ish/apk/" /etc/apk/repositories | dd of=/etc/apk/repositories bs=4194304
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
wangbaoshandeiPad:~# echo https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/main >> /etc/apk/repositories
wangbaoshandeiPad:~# echo https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/community >> /etc/apk/repositories
wangbaoshandeiPad:~# 
wangbaoshandeiPad:~# 

2. Then I run apk update

wangbaoshandeiPad:~# apk update
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/main/x86/APKINDEX.tar.gz
ERROR: https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/main: Permission denied
WARNING: Ignoring APKINDEX.32aecc44.tar.gz: No such file or directory
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/community/x86/APKINDEX.tar.gz
ERROR: https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/community: Permission denied
WARNING: Ignoring APKINDEX.c77b2f80.tar.gz: No such file or directory
2 errors; 29 distinct packages available

3. I tried to run apk search

wangbaoshandeiPad:~# apk search ssh
WARNING: Ignoring APKINDEX.32aecc44.tar.gz: No such file or directory
WARNING: Ignoring APKINDEX.c77b2f80.tar.gz: No such file or directory

4. at the end I clear the contents in /etc/apk/repositories ,and added the repo mannually

wangbaoshandeiPad:~# vi /etc/apk/repositories
wangbaoshandeiPad:~# apk update
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/main/x86/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/community/x86/APKINDEX.tar.gz
v3.13.0-127-g9cfb48d2a1 [http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/main]
v3.13.0-136-g7cf49de2ec [http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.13/community]
OK: 13572 distinct packages available

It’s successful.

5. apk search ssh as good.
