Musl based packages 07 November 2019, 15:20:50 What are the chances of Artix going over to use musl? Arch packages are getting more and more larger... likes of linux-firmware and a browser (chromium or firefox) are near 500mbs. Quote Selected 1 Likes

This will increase number of patches however Quote Selected
Re: Musl based packages Reply #3 – 11 November 2019, 21:44:44 musl is out of the question, we're already so overloaded with keeping up with Arch as it is that we can't even rework our iso-profiles. Quote Selected
