I think there's confusion between Patchy staging-merge and Patchy test-patches. They share the "Patchy" name because 90% of the code is the same, but the staging-merge is a much easier, and much better-tested, task. > > I refuse.

I think you were working on the wrong problem -- a problem which *will* be important in the future. I haven't yet set a date for when I refuse to run test-patches yet, but I'm thinking about Feb 14. Why am I doing this? Because yelling about our bus factor and the problems of not automating things has not resulted in enough attention. If you doubt my yelling, check the email archives. I am very serious about potentially leaving for good at the end of March. That would leave a lot of "maintenance" tasks not getting done. And if I officially leave lilypond and somebody asks for help doing some maintenance task, I may not bother to reply. I make no guarantees. The time to panic about not knowing how to do those tasks is NOW, while I'm still available to give some guidance. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
