GUB has the problem of being underdocumented and I've never been able to clear up whether the MacOSX port was kosher or relied on a MacOSX build environment that was licensed incompatibly with Free Software, so that one would rather have needed to replace this with something based on OpenDarwin or similar. Of course, the technical challenge would likely be similar in regard to Guix. It just might be easier to figure out whether somebody already tackled it... Of course, GUB currently has the advantage of being in active use, and the disadvantage of having very few specialists who can fix breakage with it. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
