@Roberto: The TCZs are the main power of this TC linux. A basic (Tiny)Core ONLY is as useless as a WinXP with just notepad. Good just for didactical purpose only. Porting TC to use musl libc is near useless if you want speed and size gains. What do we talk here about, 1-3 seconds boot speed, few KB gain size?

The power of musl libc is for static linked of MANY small apps, so we talk about TCZs. And of course security of a small musl vs. glibc.
Unfortunatly most recent versions of the apps make use of gnu libc, and libc+. (firefox, libreoffice, vlc, whatever), as you said. I do not see the point of a small head/"core" with musl-libc and the a fat "body" with gnu-libc.

But in the end, if you "make" a TC with musl, then you get an "Alpine" ;) You compile the free kernel (whatever version you want), and "borrow" the free TC scripts already made for you by TC team (tune-up them a little if you want). What else do you need to "build" it as you like? No need to answer me.

PS: tinycore= kernel + core.gz (modules.gz + root.gz). So your main target should be root.gz. And inside are tc scripts and busybox + few static-linked small progs. Where do you expect to get speed/size gain from? Q.E.D.

vinnie:
I think your editor can be useful, especially for those who use more than one distro and not only tinycore, but also to make the editing work more orderly and smooth.

O.t. I had read that actually, as much as apps compiled with musl are smaller, they seem to be slower, but I haven't done any tests.
I use alpine and tinycore and both have some feature or detail that the other lacks. But I think a musl version of tinycore would be less interesting for me than the glibc one.
However it is true that LOTS of unknown musl-based experimental static linked distros are coming out, so probably in the distant future musl might have more support.

@Vinnie: for having appreciated my work. I am start to versioning the code

https://github.com/robang74/tinycore-editor/releases

If you like to partecipate to the development, let me know: roberto.foglietta AT gmail.com

Roberto A. Foglietta:
@Vinnie: I have created a m-list for the used and development of TinyCore Editor

Hey Roberto, the first time I replied to you I think I had greeted you with a "ciao", but actually I think I wasn't clear enough :P
I am Italian too :)
Ok, for the newsgroup I'll see if I can subscribe, my computer routines are intermittent, I always do so many things together but I'll try to follow it.
