alpine runs on musl libc instead of glibc and thus the regular linux binaries are not compatible.

can linux binaries for musl be added to the repo?

You can build the software from source either manually or with opam install cpdf, so I'm unlikely to provide binaries routinely.

However, it might be possible to migrate cpdf to a statically-linked libc like musl in the future - then the executables would work for everyone.

So I will leave this open.

Perhaps the solution here is to build our binaries with muslc routinely, thereby making them fully static, thereby no longer needing to support old glibc.
