  1. I've started a (private atm, will be rebased a few times) branch for the #musl locale project merge.

    First some preliminaries. Bumping the Unicode character data from version 12 to version 17.

    Only +10% size to iswalpha/iswpunct tables, +5% to upper/lower case mappings. About +20% to wcwidth tables, probably from all the emoji. 🙃

  2. GOOOOD NEWS EVERYONE! (/ref)

    #Bim (although not in #Kuroko fully but still uses Kuroko to an extent) and Kuroko itself work in #Musl on a bare kernel! I'm only using #BusyBox and util-linux (which are the only non-Kuroko tools)! Everything including the #Linux kernel is compiled to Musl.

    I'm calling this Lunaris. Yes I reuse names from failed projects of mine a lot. This is very volatile. One wrong move and I need to remake the rootfs or the disk image or packages... I hate it.

  3. Alright, alright. Get this.

    A #Linux distro using nothing but #Kuroko and #Musl.

    Of course me getting Kuroko into Alpine community repos on edge inspired me to do this.

    Anything else the user installs is in a different language of course but the main system not including the kernel uses Kuroko… maybe except coreutils if I don’t want to write them into Kuroko.

    Is this even possible? Probably not, but I’m willing to find out. I mean Linux with Node.JS exists.
