systemd gains musl libc support |
 |
Since its debut, the systemd software has been tied to one operating system kernel (Linux) and one system library implementation (glibc). This is about to change as the systemd project is introducing support for an alternative system library, musl libc. Linuxiac reports: "systemd has merged experimental support for musl libc, an implementation of the C standard library built on top of the Linux system call API, marking a notable shift in compatibility across the Linux landscape. And if you're wondering why this is so important, let me explain.
For years, systemd and musl occupied separate worlds: systemd required glibc, while musl-based distributions relied on alternative init systems and service managers.
In other words, distros using musl libc could not run systemd without extensive patching - or at all. So, all musl-based distros were effectively systemd-free (they used OpenRC, s6, runit, dinit, etc.). With this change, however, things have the potential to change." Yu Watanabe, a developer from Red Hat, has merged the musl support and testing is underway.
