Mere Linux

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.

For additional details, visit https://merelinux.org.

Installing

See INSTALLING for more details.

Docker Containers

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.

Support

For bugs or feature requests, including packages that do not currently exist in the repositories, please create a new Github issue.

Contributing

In the current state of development, the most helpful contributions are:

  • Test Mere on your local machine and report any issues.
  • Create pull requests of any missing packages you would like to see included. There is currently a lot of room for potential packages. See CONTRIBUTING for more details.
