This entire post is about how there isn't a solution to that problem. It's a fundamentally flawed idea.
- MrStonedOne 5y agoThe solution is to seperate the branding from the idea. There is no way for somebody to suggest in the name of their product that they are a downstream of alpine without using the word alpine. alpine linux can fix this by creating and providing a generic word for their flawed-opinionated-mini-linux whatever
- deadbunny 5y ago> alpine linux can fix this by creating and providing a generic word for their flawed-opinionated-mini-linux whatever Why is it on the Alpine Devs to name a downstream project? Would you ask the Debian devs to name Ubuntu?
- MrStonedOne 5y agothey are the ones who have an issue with alpine-glibc's name
- encryptluks2 5y agoIt isn't even really a downstream project. This is like saying that third party Deb packages are downstream projects of Debian. They are just third-party packages you can install in Debian.
