Also, what version of fontforge is in lilybuntu? Could somebody run: fontforge --version Since about 90% of our non-translation doc patches come from people running lilybuntu[1][2], I veto any patch which requires anything more than lilybuntu has. [1] people are using lilybuntu because they're not versed in unixy stuff. I might reluctantly accept asking them to run apt-get, but **only** if the updated package is in the main ubuntu repository or if the package can be updated without touching anything else (i.e. backports). We will **not** ask them to add a new repo or screw around with /etc/ files. [2] we're getting close to having a new version of lilybuntu, so "vetoing" a fontforge bump patch might just translate into "delay the patch by a month or two". Cheers, - Graham PS the potential irony of breaking git just as Kieren manages to get stuff working on his third try *does* appeal to me -- hey, I've never claimed that I'm not a bad, bad man -- but since this would also mean throwing away almost all doc work, I'm drawing the line. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
