Does pmbootstrap install the latest image?

Actually no, it _does_ install the "latest image" (whatever that means). It just pulls the packages from the repositories while installing so it uses whatever is in there. The images put online also pull from that same repository.

Did you really have a hard time understanding 'latest image'? I don't think you did, so why say that? Pretty straight forward, in any context involving software. So why pretend you don't understand something so straight forward, and then proceed to answer the question, indicating you know exactly what I meant?

Here is a more complete answer, but basically yes, it's the latest version. The images are often here to test stuff that's sometimes hard to put together, or sometimes to make distribution easier in some cases. They are not the "latest" version, and I don't think you can actually rely on them getting published regularly, at this point.

Grab one if you really don't want to use pmbootstrap (though you should try to use it if you want to play with different experimental packages), and update it:

Code:

apk update && apk upgrade -a

Thanks for the helpful and detailed answer. I guess I'll have to play around with it a bit to figure out why there seemed to be a big difference in what pmbootstrap loaded vs what I downloaded and installed manually.
