Subject: [musl] What is the status of musl and fts.h?
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2021 20:35:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YMOs3Gb0h+iKNjfI@alf.mars> (raw)

Dear musl developers,

As I proceeded to building libselinux, I ran into the well-known issue
that musl does not include a fts.h header. This is documented in the
musl faq at:
https://wiki.musl-libc.org/faq.html#Q:-Why-is-%3Ccode%3Efts.h%3C/code%3E-not-included?

Unfortunately, the answer seems slightly out of date. For one thing,
glibc does include a fts64 variant these days. For another, most
embedded distributions that do use musl seem to have set on an extra
implementation:
https://github.com/void-linux/musl-fts

So it seems like everyone has agreed that there should be a fts
implementation and that it can be bolted onto musl. That gives rise to
the obvious question: Can musl-fts be merged into musl?

Please Cc me in replies as I am not subscribed. Also please update the
FAQ entry.

Helmut
