Why?
I really need `python-doc` to build any app that use `libxml2-dev`? Be reasonable.
Could you be more specific?
This is on a very minimal alpine linux install from the edge repository:
dev-edge:~$ sudo apk add libxml2-dev (1/3) Installing zlib-dev (1.2.8-r2) (2/3) Installing libxml2 (2.9.2-r2) (3/3) Installing libxml2-dev (2.9.2-r2)
I came across the same curiosity while trying to set up a ruby app that uses Nokogiri with Docker on Alpine.
I'm extremely new to Alpine, but upon loading the docker image (from alpine:3.2) and /bin/bashing on in:
bash-4.3# apk update && apk upgrade fetch <a href="http://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.2/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz v3.2.3-163-ge875c5c" rel="nofollow">http://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.2/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz v3.2.3-163-ge875c5c</a> [<a href="http://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.2/main" rel="nofollow">http://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.2/main</a>] OK: 5294 distinct packages available 0% [ O bash-4.3# apk add libxml2-dev (1/11) Installing libbz2 (1.0.6-r3) (2/11) Installing sqlite-libs (3.8.10.2-r0) (3/11) Installing python (2.7.10-r1) (4/11) Installing python-doc (2.7.10-r1) (5/11) Installing python-tests (2.7.10-r1) (6/11) Installing py-gdbm (2.7.10-r1) (7/11) Installing python-dev (2.7.10-r1) (8/11) Installing libxml2-doc (2.9.2-r1) (9/11) Installing py-libxml2 (2.9.2-r1) (10/11) Installing libxml2-utils (2.9.2-r1) (11/11) Installing libxml2-dev (2.9.2-r1) bash-4.3#
I thought the same thing OP mentioned, and ended up on this post while googling about for other problems.
*Edit*
I'm noticing that 3.2 isn't current and tested against Alpine:latest (3.3) -- the output was far more reasonable:
bash-4.3# apk add libxml2-dev (1/5) Installing pkgconf (0.9.12-r0) (2/5) Installing pkgconfig (0.25-r1) (3/5) Installing zlib-dev (1.2.8-r2) (4/5) Installing libxml2 (2.9.3-r0) (5/5) Installing libxml2-dev (2.9.3-r0) OK: 15 MiB in 21 packages bash-4.3#
