Systemd today finally merged support for building against and using the musl libc library. This is a win for Linux distributions like postmarketOS, Alpine Linux, and others that use musl by default as their standard C library or offer it as an option.
Since September has been a pull request for experimental support for building systemd with musl libc. This requires a new version of musl with a recent patch, which has been backported to some distributions like Alpine Linux and postmarketOS, in order to use musl as an alternative to glibc.
I’ll finally be able to switch from docker compose to podman with quadlets on my server running alpine
Another good reason Poettering left the project. This was a hill he wanted to die on… glibc only.
he literally made a commit yesterday? https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/1daf7b56bb9b01f03bb19a12e9aec5934116a72d
Wait he left? When?
