   apk-tools 2.10 introduces applet aliases support. this means:

   - `apk install` does the same thing as `apk add`

   - `apk remove` does the same thing as `apk del`

   - `apk purge` does the same thing as `apk del --purge`

   - `apk dist-upgrade` does the same thing as `apk upgrade --available` (which does basically the same thing as the other package manager's dist-upgrade)

   patch will be going in after some cleanups, but the concept is proven

      another useful apk-tools 2.10 feature: it now automatically updates repository indexes if they are more than 4 hours old. this way you don't run into problems where packages have been removed from the archive.
