============================================
===  Installing imapsync on AlpineLinux  ===
============================================


See https://alpinelinux.org/about/

Thanks to mpsarakis! 

Here I reproduce his contribution from
https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync/discussions/470 
with some updates.


In case somebody is interested, these are the Alpine packages required
if anybody wants to install the latest imapsync release on their
light-weight system:

echo "**** Install IMAPSYNC required packages ****"
apk --no-cache --no-progress add \
    make                         \
    gcc                          \
    git                          \
    db-dev                       \
    openssl-dev                  \
    perl-app-cpanminus           \
    lsb-release-minimal          \
    procps

apk --no-cache --no-progress add \
    perl-ntlm                    \
    perl-class-load              \
    perl-crypt-ssleay            \
    perl-data-uniqid             \
    perl-digest-hmac             \
    perl-dist-checkconflicts     \
    perl-encode-imaputf7         \
    perl-file-copy-recursive     \
    perl-file-tail               \
    perl-io-socket-inet6         \
    perl-io-socket-ssl           \
    perl-io-tee                  \
    perl-mail-imapclient         \
    perl-module-scandeps         \
    perl-net-ssleay              \
    perl-net-dns                 \
    perl-par-packer              \
    perl-regexp-common           \
    perl-sys-meminfo             \
    perl-term-readkey            \
    perl-test-fatal              \
    perl-test-mock-guard         \
    perl-test-mockobject         \
    perl-test-pod                \
    perl-test-requires           \
    perl-test-simple             \
    perl-unicode-string          \
    perl-test-nowarnings         \
    perl-test-deep               \
    perl-test-warn               \
    perl-readonly                \
    perl-crypt-openssl-rsa       \
    perl-package-stash-xs        \
    perl-proc-processtable       \
    perl-cgi                     \
    perl-json                    \
    perl-json-webtoken           \
    perl-net-server              


These are packages to be able to use OAUTH2 in case you need it:

echo "**** Install IMAPSYNC OAUTH2 required packages ****"
apk --no-cache --no-progress add \
    unzip                        \
    perl-net-dns                 \
    perl-email-address           \
    perl-http-daemon

cpanm --force HTTP::Daemon::SSL



It would have certainly been possible to use the older existing Alpine
package for Imapsync + replace the actual script by the latest one but
I wanted to keep it fully manual since package was outdated
anyway... maybe not the ideal way but working fine here and avoid
having to compile any perl module.
