[Libguestfs] Some comments on the libnbd apk in Alpine

Hi Sean, the maintainers of libnbd here. Thanks for packaging libnbd in Alpine: https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/testing/libnbd/APKBUILD I have a few comments: (1) The url field should be "https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/libnbd" (The one you are using is an old, stale mirror) (2) libxml2-dev is not listed as a dependency. We had a request from an Alpine user to add this dependency because it enables several important features in libnbd, namely NBD URI support and some utilities which require URI support. It shouldn't be too much trouble to add since it appears that libxml2 is already built in Alpine. (3) libnbd 1.18 (next stable) will be released in a week or two: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-September/032590.html If you have any questions or comments about the package you can send them to me and/or the mailing list (without subscribing if you don't want to).
