Biber not available for x86_64-linuxmusl #10

Closed krumeich closed 5 years ago

krumeich commented 5 years ago

I tried installing biber in an Alpine based docker image. However, there is no x86_64-linuxmusl build for biber, only the traditional x86_64-linux, but this doesn't help me with my Alpine image.

Is this an oversight or am I doing something completely wrong? Terribly sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Kindly pointly in the right direction.

Thanks for your consideration!

Biber is special, since the binaries are provided by upstream author and are not build from TeX Live source. I guess there is no other way then asking someone with Alpine experience to build the package. It is not that complicated, but needs lots of Perl modules.
