Thank you for posting this! Could we integrate this package into the main repo, to make it easier to install?

@mcandre: Thanks for the request and all kudos goes to @andyshinn. The Alpine Linux maintainers have indicated that they don't want to include glibc in their distribution - they prefer to use musl libc as a lightweight alternative.

For that reason, this package is very unlikely to be included in an official Alpine Linux repository.
