Wolfi APK Repository - Stremio and Media Packages

Community APK repository for Wolfi Linux providing Stremio, MPV, and comprehensive media libraries including Qt5 WebEngine.

Features: Hosted on SourceForge • Automated CI/CD • Cryptographically signed • Multi-architecture support

Important: This is a community repository providing early access to packages from PR #69098 currently under review by the official Wolfi team.

If/when the PR is merged, users should migrate to official Wolfi packages. Until then, this repository provides: - Early access for users who need these packages immediately - Testing ground for package configurations before official inclusion - Learning resource for Wolfi packaging and CI/CD

Architecture

Build and distribution pipeline:

1. GitHub Actions CI/CD - Automated builds using Melange
2. Melange Build - Compile for x86_64 + aarch64 architectures
3. RSA Signing - Cryptographic package signatures
4. APKINDEX Generation - Repository index creation
5. SourceForge Distribution - Public APK repository hosting

Supported Architectures

• x86_64 - Intel/AMD 64-bit
• aarch64 - ARM 64-bit (Raspberry Pi, servers, etc.)

---

Security

All packages are: - Cryptographically signed with RSA 4096-bit keys - Built from source using Melange - Reproducible builds via GitHub Actions - Open source - all build configurations public

Verify Signatures

# Package signatures are verified automatically by apk
apk verify stremio mpv qt5-qtwebengine

For Developers

Building with GitHub Actions (Recommended)

This repository uses GitHub Actions Cache for fast, independent builds:

• Cache Duration: 7 days
• Cache Size: ~50 packages (~7 MB compressed)
• Benefit: Build individual packages without rebuilding dependencies

Quick Start

# Check if cache is populated (< 7 days old)
gh cache list -R vejeta/wolfi-packages --key wolfi-packages-consolidated-x86_64

# If cache exists: Build any package independently
gh workflow run build-packages.yml -f package_filter="stremio" -R vejeta/wolfi-packages

# If cache empty: Follow sequential build order
# See build_order_summary.md for detailed instructions

With populated cache: - Build time: ~7-92 minutes (individual packages) - No dependency rebuilds required - Example: Update only stremio without rebuilding Qt5 stack

With empty cache (>7 days): - Build time: ~2.5-4.5 hours (full sequential build) - Must follow dependency order - SourceForge acts as fallback dependency source

Building Locally

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/vejeta/wolfi-packages.git
cd wolfi-packages

# Install Melange
wget https://github.com/chainguard-dev/melange/releases/download/v0.8.0/melange_0.8.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf melange_0.8.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv melange /usr/local/bin/

# Build a specific package
./scripts/build-with-melange.sh packages/stremio/stremio.yaml x86_64

Project Origin

These packages originated from PR #69098 submitted to the official Wolfi repository. As the PR review process continues, this community repository provides early access for users who need them immediately.

Background

Why This Repository Exists

This repository was created because: - Official Wolfi team has not yet merged PR #69098 - Users need Stremio and MPV packages immediately - Provides learning opportunity for Wolfi CI/CD and package distribution

Why SourceForge?

GitHub Pages has a 100 MB file size limit, making it unsuitable for large packages like qt5-qtwebengine (300MB). SourceForge provides: - No file size limits - Unlimited bandwidth - Reliable rsync/SSH access for CI/CD - CDN for fast worldwide downloads - Free hosting for open source projects

---

Repository Statistics

• Packages: 25
• Architectures: x86_64, aarch64
• Total Repository Size: ~800 MB per architecture
• Hosting Cost: $0/month (SourceForge)
• Build Time: ~30-45 minutes per full build
• Update Frequency: As needed for package updates
