After upgrading my system, initially I installed lilypond without documentation. Today, I wanted to go back and add the documentation*, but not change the lilypond version. But the Linux installer script forces you to uninstall the binaries and then reinstall them, even though the binaries were not going to change.
Would it be possible, in a future release, to change the handling of the --doc switch so that it would only install the documentation, if the script finds that the same version of lilypond is already installed? Or it could prompt to ask the user, something like "Lilypond version 2.15.blahblah is already installed. Keep it and just add the documentation [Y/N]?" If yes, go ahead and download the documentation. If no, do what it does now -- complain that it's already installed and instruct the user how to uninstall by hand. hjh * Because sometimes I have to work on an lp score in a place without internet access. -- James Harkins /// dewdrop world jamshar...@dewdrop-world.net http://www.dewdrop-world.net "Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, Sing me the universal." -- Whitman blog: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words audio clips: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/audio more audio: http://soundcloud.com/dewdrop_world/tracks _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
