Why is musl better than glibc? Looking at the licence, it’s just your classic corporate cuckolding that always leads to a net decrease in upstream contributions
yeah, fair enough, that’s a good point. Also now that I think about it, the dns resolution in musl is pretty bad, too. But I do appreciate that musl is designed to be lighter weight than glib, and that it supports static linking.
Alpine’s main thing is musl. musl is a lot better than glib, but you have to compile for it, which means no proprietary software.
The glibc can be introduced by an Alpine fork, so Alpine can stay pure.
