Lilblue Linux: Adventures Beyond the Land of Posix
- asb 12y agoWhen the author mentioned musl libc I was rather expecting them to say they switched. It seems rather more patches are required for uclibc support than for musl, while musl has the advantage of an active community. uclibc on the other hand hasn't seen a release for years (prompting someone to start up http://www.uclibc-ng.org/ http://www.uclibc-ng.org/). Projects such as buildroot and openwrt maintain patches both to uclibc and to applications they wish to compile.
- vezzy-fnord 12y agouClibc seems to cover a lot more of the GNU extensions, so it probably is more convenient from that point of view (seeing as gnulib is somewhat incomplete), but otherwise I agree. musl quickly seems to be becoming the premier libc out there, and Felker's leadership has been stellar thus far.

- zokier 12y agoInteresting read even though based on the title I was hoping to find something about some non-posixy Linux distro.
- sudowhodoido 12y agoI can't think of any reason I'd want any less POSIX. In fact more is probably better for us all.
- rdc12 12y agoI guess that its more beyond POSIX only
- 616c 12y agoThis sounds interesting. Sounds like Alpine Linux, which I Googled recently and was very intrigued after the first mention I had heard of it. http://alpinelinux.org/ http://alpinelinux.org/
