DESCRIPTION
       apk  index creates a repository index from a list of package files. See
       apk‐repositories(8) for more information on repository indicies.

       Generally, the resulting index must be cryptographically signed  before
       apk will accept it. See abuild‐sign(1) for details.

OPTIONS
       ‐d, ‐‐description TEXT
           Add  a description to the index. Upstream, this is used to add ver‐
           sion information based on the git commit SHA of aports HEAD at  the
           time of index generation.

       ‐‐merge
           Merge packages into the existing INDEX.

       ‐o, ‐‐output FILE
           Output generated index to FILE.

       ‐‐prune‐origin
           Prune  packages  from the existing INDEX with same origin as any of
           the new packages during merge.

       ‐x, ‐‐index INDEX

           new index by reusing data when possible.

           Disable  the  warning about missing dependencies. This happens when
           A, depends on package B, that does not have a provider in  the  in‐
           dexed repository.
