Hello Richard, I have updated the version to 1.16.0 and integrated your suggestions in Merge Request [1]. I have stared the project and will get updates when new releases are made and will update the Alpine package soon after.

Thanks for making great software. Sean [1] https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/52132 On Thu, Sep 21, 2023 at 6:02 PM Richard W.M.

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).

Hi Richard, the package in Alpine (edge) has recently been updated to 1.18.0. The mirrors should reflect that soon
