Simply because we're never going to have version 9.999.9 ? I mean, even when we start development for lilypond 10, we're never going to have 999 releases between lilypond 8 and 10. We could use 9.999.9 as a convention for "not a real version number". Yes, it's not as safe as adding letters to the version number, but OTOH I'm pretty certain that we could use 9.999.9 without any build-system-related problems. (hmm... actually, it's just possible that it wouldn't be happy with the leading 2. But something like 2.999.9 should be totally safe) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
