One thing I like about Alpine Linux is how easy and dumbproof it is to make packages. It's not some wild beast like trying to create `.deb` files.

If anyone out there is already fully committed to using only Alpine Linux, I'd recommend trying creating native packages at least once.

I'm not familiar with .deb packages, but one thing I love about Arch Linux is PKGBUILD and makepkg. It is ridiculously easy to make a package.
