I am happy to announce that our 'edge' branch is now using musl libc.

For edge users you will have to do this to migrate:

Edit /etc/apk/repositories and make sure that you don't mix edge and any
stable branch (eg v2.x)

Install static apk-tools and busybox. This is a safety net in case
things goes wrong.

  apk add -U apk-tools-static busybox-static

Run a simulation first. This will show what will happen:

  apk.static upgrade --no-self-upgrade -U -a --simulate

Perform the actual upgrade:

  apk.static upgrade --no-self-upgrade -U -a

Reboot.

After this your system should be running musl.
