Submission + - musl libc hits 1.0 milestone 3

dalias writes: The musl libc project has released version 1.0, the result of three years of development and testing. Musl is a lightweight, fast, simple, MIT-licensed, correctness-oriented alternative to the GNU C library (glibc), uClibc, or Android's Bionic. At this point musl provides all mandatory C99 and POSIX interfaces (plus a lot of widely-used extensions), and well over 5000 packages are known to build successfully against musl.

Several options are available for trying musl. Compiler toolchains are available from the musl-cross project, and several new musl-based Linux distributions are already available (Sabotage and Snowflake, among others). Some well-established distributions including OpenWRT and Gentoo are in the process of adding musl-based variants, and others (Aboriginal, Alpine, Bedrock, Dragora) are adopting musl as their default libc.

Comment Maybe it was my project... (Score 0) 162

I am maintainer for a project that is used in a subproject of mine. I am not involved much in the subproject so I'm just maintaining it becuase no-one else does. I have got atleast one patch that got stuck in the work queue for weeks. I *will* take a closer look to the patch and I will move this subproject to git (as the CVS server is so slow that its unuseable). Its not that I don't care or don't like the patches, its just that I don't have had the time to actually do it. sorry...
