Has anyone successfully built own repository?

How to do it using built-in OpenWrt scripts?
I would rather avoid installing Alpine Linux specifically to build a repository.

Yes, I have, it's actually a bit easier with the apk than opkg/ipk. The apk binary found in the staging dir can be used to create index and sign both binaries and the index.

Requirements
To build a package for Alpine Linux you need an Alpine Linux installation.

Maybe I don't like that the description applies to a different system/environment..

So far I have been building the repository using a simple script and scripts built into OpenWrt sources. I expected that the APK repository would be similar.
