Hi everyone, |

This one is mostly for the bug wranglers. There is a new email list and |
| 4 |
alias for the musl (sub?)project [1]. |

List: gentoo-musl@l.g.o |

musl is a new C standard lib [2]. It adheres scrictly to POSIX, XOPEN, |
| 10 |
SUSv3 standards. As a result, a number of packages break with musl. |
| 11 |
Usually these are small bugs, like missing headers mandated by POSIX, |
| 12 |
but still even a small error breaks a package. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I don't want to burdon the maintainers with these bugs, so I'd like to |
| 15 |
ask bug wranglers that if they see a bug due to musl, to please assign |
| 16 |
it to me and cc the maintainer. I'll fix the bugs on the musl overlay |
| 17 |
[3] and upstream the patches, while keeping the maintainers informed |
| 18 |
about what's going on. Don't worry, I won't touch any packages. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Bug wrangling usually proceeds via the metadata.xml, but there really is |
| 21 |
no structure there for communicating the above situation. |
