I have the following snippet in my Dockerfile

FROM alpine:3.3
# x11vnc is in the testing repository
RUN echo "http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories \
&& apk --update --upgrade add fluxbox x11vnc xvfb xhost supervisor

Now x11vnc seems to have disappeared.
Where did this package go?
Any other package that I can use instead?

Thanks!

See http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/log/unmaintained/x11vnc?showmsg=1

This moves all packages from testing to unmaintained which have not been
updated for atleast 6 months. If you are affected by this commit please follow
this proceddure:
 
* make sure your packages build on all architectures
* move your pacakge(s) back to testing
* if you want to keep this package and can maintain it (or find somebody to
  maintain it for you) for a minimum of 6 months ask it to be moved to community

One possibility is to fetch http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/tree/unmaintained/x11vnc/APKBUILD , build it yourself and add it as a local package.
