One more useful Alpine trick: apk add --virtual mypackage dep1 dep2 dep3

Adds a dummy package "mypackage" with dependencies on dep1, dep2 and dep3

The more I play around with Alpine, the more useful tricks I find along the way, the best distro ever

@yyp are you running Alpine with a GUI & if so, how is it as a desktop? I'm impressed with it but have only used it on Rasp Pi before.

@joshbdoc Yes, I'm running it with a GUI. It's quite good as a desktop
