j/w: What use cases do you have or have in mind for your glibc package? Do you see it as a temporary step for adding pre-built things to Alpine images during development, before you have time to rebuild them against musl? Do you feel some prod use cases are ‘safe enough’?

Or nowadays do you generally prefer the upstream compatibility packages you mentioned?

I don't compile my own software against glibc and run it in Alpine. As mentioned previously, this package was created ~ 6 years ago to run software compiled against glibc (that didn't have the source code available) in Alpine Linux. I don't recommend that anyone uses it over the equivalent Alpine package or compiling your software against musl-c.

Gotcha. Sorry your obsolete workaround is being painted as new and borderline malicious. :-\

And it's been very useful for exactly that purpose -- thank you for providing it (happy user here!)
