Patchy has been running for about 6 hours on my laptop trying to get the current staging (which is one trivial commit ahead of master) checked. And is still on it. It bogs down development use to a crawl. At least with this (the quite old laptop, about 1Ghz single core, since the last laptop died on me) this is not a serious option for LilyPond development. Even when the replacement laptop arrives, it will not be much of an option if development is to continue. I might see whether I manage to get the laptop with the dead screen working remotely, but I doubt it will take less than 4 hours for a patchy run. So seriously: this needs to move to a different computer if LilyPond development is of concern to you all. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
