-Subject: [PATCH] pkg: truncate apkv3 description to 256 bytes
-
-The code to read/write installeddb does not really handle long
-description well. Until the database is converted to apkv3 format,
-truncate the apkv3 descriptions to allow existing code to work.
-
-APKv3 index and packages still contain the original long description
-unmodified, so no package rebuild will be needed.
-
-fixes #11038
-
-Upstream-Status: Backport [https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/apk-tools/-/commit/417a93ceae540444fdbd3f76d1dadf0e15621fdc]
