NAME
       /etc/apk/repositories ‐ list of package repositories

DESCRIPTION
       /etc/apk/repositories  is  the list of package repositories apk(8) uses
       to retrieve package files for installation.  Each  line  of  this  file
       specifies the location of a package repository, and optionally a tag.

       The location may be an http://, https://, or ftp:// URL, or the path to
       a  directory  on  the local filesystem. A tagged repository is prefixed
       with the @tag specifier, followed by a space and the  repository  loca‐
       tion. For more information about repository tags, see apk‐world(5).

REPOSITORY LAYOUT
       Each   repository   must   store   an  index  at  $repository/$arch/AP‐
       KINDEX.tar.gz. See apk‐index(8) for information about  generating  this
       file.  The  packages  themselves  are stored at $repository/$arch/$pkg‐
       name‐$pkgver‐r$pkgrel.apk.

       apk(8) verifies that each of these files has a valid cryptographic sig‐
       nature unless explicitly told not to via  the  ‐‐allow‐untrusted  flag.
       See abuild‐keygen(1) for information about generating keys, apk‐keys(5)
       to add keys to the list of trusted keys, abuild‐sign(1) for information
       about using these keys to sign files, and apk‐verify(8) for information
       about verifying those signatures.

UPDATING INDICIES
       apk(8)  fetches  and  stores  the  index for each package repository at
       /var/lib/cache. To fetch fresh indicies for  all  configured  reposito‐
       ries, use apk‐update(8).
