Musllinux wheel? 🙏

[MrMino]

Hi there 👋

I'm on a mission to bring Alpine support to projects that we use in our CIs, in the form of musllinux-tagged wheels. backports.zoneinfo doesn't have one, which means that each install on Alpine has to recompile it from an sdist.

Would you be open to releasing a musllinux-tagged wheel for backports.zoneinfo? It would speed up the builds that use the backport. The support for these tags is in Py3.6+ pip. You can check it out using:

docker run -it --net host python:3.6.15-alpine pip install lxml==4.9.2  # Latest lxml ships wheels for musl

I believe all it takes for this to happen is adding a tag to GH workflow that you are using. For currently released version auditwheel might also be of help. I can assist in all of this if you are interested.

Edit: I just noticed you're a member of PyPA so you probably know far better of what is neccessary for this to happen 😉 still, I'm happy to PR the necessary GH workflow edit if you'd like.

@MrMino I don't have time to do it myself, but if you would like to make a PR that would be great. I need to make a release of this project soon, I intended to make one soon, but got stymied by what to do about #126. I plan to resolve that in the next few weeks, so if it's possible to make a PR before then that would be ideal.
