Our Alpine package repository has been rebuilt against Alpine 3.17 and
is now available for third-party instances to utilize.

The new repository URL is:

https://mirror.sr.ht/alpine/v3.17/sr.ht/

Remember to run apk upgrade with the -a flag when upgrading your
systems. Cheers!

FYI to anyone listening:

The upgrade to Alpine 3.17 seems to cause checksums for any package
using git.sr.ht's /archive URL to fetch ref tarballs for repos
(https://git.sr.ht/~<username>/<repo>/archive/<ref>.tar.gz) to break:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wev#comment-908634

I highly suspect this is because in git v2.38.0, the default compression
configuration for gzip changed, causing files created by git-archive(1)
to be slightly different.

Relevant threads:

As you can see below, the git for alpine 3.15 (the preceding sr.ht pkgs
alpine version) is before v2.38.0 (v2.34.7) while the one for alpine
3.17 is after (v2.38.4):

You can correct this by running:

git config --global tar.tar.gz.command 'gzip -cn'

On your git.sr.ht host, as the git user.
