I am packaging a package on Alpine Linux for the first time and I think I messed up... twice 🙈

Btw I'm packaging dictd on Alpine. here's my latest patch so far: lists.alpinelinux.org/~alpine/
The current problem is that I don't know how to start dictd without systemd 😂

lists.alpinelinux.org testing/dictd: new aport — alpinelinux lists

Running dictd gives "permission denied". Running as root just doesn't give anything, even when I passed --verbose. I checked Void [0] and Gentoo [1] for reference, but the Void script does not do anything either and the Gentoo one uses systemd.

[1]: gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.

@huy_ngo, sorry for sidetracking but Alpine is using #SourceHut for mailing lists? I'm pleasantly surprised!

@mcsinyx Yes, but they use gitlab for code hosting :)

@huy_ngo, so that's what the *lists.sr.ht patches to GitLab merge requests* thing for
