Mere Linux is a simple Linux distribution built upon musl libc, using pacman for package management and s6 for PID 1 and process supervision. The main system toolchain and compiler is llvm/clang.
Mere is still in its Alpha phase. If you are interested in helping please visit the Github Discussions page and leave a comment.

See INSTALLING for more details.
There are two main docker containers that may make a good introduction to Mere Linux.
mere/base
: Essentially just busybox
and pacman
. Use it to get going and install
any other available packages.mere/dev
: Quite a bit larger, but that's because it includes the llvm
toolchain and other dependencies required to begin building packages for Mere.For bugs or feature requests, including packages that do not currently exist in the repositories, please create a new Github issue.
