  install.sh: prefer x86_64-static binary by default (portable across libc versions)

  leviathan released this 2026-05-23 04:28:36 +00:00 | 38 commits to main since this release

  The dynamic binary requires glibc 2.38+ — built on
  ubuntu-latest (2.39+), it refuses to load on Debian 12
  (glibc 2.36), older Ubuntu, RHEL 8/9, etc. Hard portability
  ceiling for the one-liner installer.

  The musl-static binary (built on Alpine, attached as
  skeletonkey-x86_64-static) runs on every libc — verified
  Alpine → Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/RHEL cross-distro. Costs ~800 KB
  extra (1.2 MB vs 390 KB) but eliminates the libc-version
  problem entirely.

  Default: install.sh now fetches the -static asset for x86_64.
  Override: SKELETONKEY_DYNAMIC=1 curl … | sh fetches the smaller
  dynamic binary (for hosts that have modern glibc and want the
  smaller download).

  arm64: no static variant attached yet (cross-compiling musl
  for aarch64 needs a separate toolchain); install.sh still
  fetches the dynamic arm64 binary, which works on most modern
  arm64 distros (raspberry-pi / aws graviton / etc.).
