[gentoo-user] Lilypond version
Hi, I don't know where should I post this kind of message, but I need to use lilypond as one of my working tools. I got stunned when I saw today that lilypond version available at portage tree is 2.0.3 the latest stable version is 2.6.5 and 2.0.3 is extreme old. Is there a reason that lilypond version is not up to date and should I build myself ( without portage ) if I want to used it ? -- An application asked: Requeires Windows 9x, NT4 or better, so I´ve installed Linux -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

There's nothing stopping you from building from source, but Lilypond 2.5.2 is there, just not marked stable: lilypond-2.5.2 ~x86 Is there a reason that lilypond version is not up to date and should I build myself ( without portage ) if I want to used it ? Something along the lines of this will enable you to emerge it... echo 'media-sound/lilypond ~x86' /etc/portage/package.keywords As to why it is masked, I don't know. 'man portage' has a lot of useful info, you should check it out Dave On 3/21/06, Allan Spagnol Comar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I don't know where should I post this kind of message, but I need to use lilypond as one of my working tools.

You might consider keywording lilypond in /etc/portage/package.keywords to get the ~ARCH version (I'm ~x86, so don't know if the versions are the same/available for other ARCHes), or learning how to create a PORTDIR_OVERLAY (overlay directory tree). See /man portage/ for information on keywording a specific package; see http://gentoo-wiki.com/Portage_Overlay for information on overlay directories and a listing of sources (other than b.g.o) for 3rd party ebuilds (such as ecatmur's overlay, listed above).

Re: [gentoo-user] Lilypond version
search bugs.gentoo.org for ALL lilypond and you will see a number of bugs, including one referring to an ebuild for 2.7.0. You may also find the reason for later versions not being marked stable. The usual reason however is lack of developers. This aspect of gentoo is getting worse and worse. This is an observation. not a complaint.
