Re: Add backup option to convert-ly (Issue 3572) (issue 14040043)

The name here was chosen to correspond with the numbered backups of

Emacs.

Emacs will recognize a numbered backup file (joining the backup

scheme) only

when there is a good match.  In addition, this makes it recognize that

the

real file extension is .ly rather than .45.


More importantly: lilypond.1~ already is the name of the normal backup
file for the nroff source of the lilypond manual page.  There really is
no point in trying to invent our own scheme here.

 I believe lilypad for Windows is localised - see

 https://github.com/gperciva/**lilypad/tree/master/windowshttps://github.com/gperciva/lilypad/tree/master/windows

 All those .rc files are Windows resource files in different languages.
  I've no idea how it works, though.


 I think I can test it later
 I've just remembered that I have a virtualbox file with Windows inside


 I confirm that LilyPad is localized: let me know if you need screenshots
 for italian website..
 Two issues to fix IMO:

 1. Welcome_to_Lilypond should be translated
 2. The installation wizard was in english, even if my locale in Windows is
 italian


Generate PDF and Edit source (right-click menu) are not translated.
So only the menu items are translated.

Unverified issues?

2013-09-29 Thread David Kastrup

The issue tracker shows for
URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list?can=1q=status%3Afixed
48 unverified issues.  Most of them can be verified since 2.17.27 has
been released.  Some have Fixed_2_17_28 in spite of already being in
2.17.27.

I'd like a better record before branching the stable release branch.

So what?  If you find that some worker in a factory line is more
efficient as the next best worker, do you think good management would be
to fire all the rest?  Will that get more work done or less?

As long as we don't work against another, there is no sense in leaving
all the work to the most efficient people.  It may be argued that
I should be most efficient in a number of categories.  But if I had to
cater for all of them, I'd not get much done at all.

And actually, most of the Meisters listed in our roll have developed
their respective efficiency only on the job.

I've cleared some of them, you won't have to work too much tomorrow :-)
This is a boring task and it should be shared as possible between all bug
squad members.

Also, I'm thinking about a way of making it easier.
Most of the times we have only to check if the committish pasted by the
developer is really in master. If we add a field Committish (where the
developer should paste the committish), then the bug squad can show the
column Committish and work on the list page instead of having to open each
issue.
Then we copypaste each committish in gitk and when we have verified all of
them we can use the bulk edit to mark all the issues as Verified in one
shot (never tried but I hope it works).

What do you think about it?

It matches the theory.  In practice, I've been startled quite a few
times when bug squad members not just verified the commit to be present
but also reported back when it turned out that the claimed functionality
did not actually accompany the commit.

The verification you spell out here could be done by a web crawler and
would be done in seconds.  The verification from the bug squad appears
to do a more thorough job on average.

When changing the issue tracker, you get a field for specifying what the
tracker should do next after changing the current issue.  If you use go
to next issue, it will move to the next issue matching the search.
That seems rather efficient, and it would appear that the bug squad
reading the issue description and possibly more leads to an improvement
of the results.

The question is whether we can significantly improve the efficiency
without sacrificing more quality than desirable.

Graham and I used to debate this.  His view was that all that is required of 
Bug Squad members is to verify that a claimed fix was committed.  This would 
lend itself well to autoverification, should someone have the time to write 
an autoverify-bot.  I would live with that for Issues marked as something 
like Patch-pushed.  I do think that claimed fixes to real bugs should have 
a tiny example, and the bug squad should confirm that the tiny example no 
longer fails.  This could argue for a more rigorous approach to bug 
acceptance: no example, no report.

 I'm curious to hear the opinion of Eluze

I have not much to add - yes it *is* boring if you only check that the
committish is there: a machine would do this faster and is probably less
error prone. but as dak observed, a few issues have been found to not really
solve the whole problem, just a part of it.

I have added a few issues to the tracker and many of them were originated by
myself. so it seems natural that I'm interested how the solution looks like
and not only that the patch has been committed.

I must confess that not every topics are of the same interest to me - that's
where I simply check the pre-/absence of the patch (and that's the boring
part). however that doesn't take much time (except for developers still
having a googlemail-account… because then you don't fall back to the issue
list) and I think it's a confirmation for the developers that their patch
has been definitely approved and confirmed. that's better than waiting for
days or weeks for a - maybe never coming - feedback. they may feel much
freer to put their energy into solving other issues.

a final remark: in the beginning of my bug squad member career it took me
much longer to verify a single issue - now with some routine I can open an
issue, search the commit, copy it, swap to Phil's tab, paste, check there is
something there, swap back, select verified and submit in clearly less than
a minute (and nearly blindly…).

so I understood it - thanks ;-)

but weeks ago I already told how unfair this system is: Phil's releases 
happen on week-ends usually and then it's my turn - the others rarely 
get the opportunity to get accustomed to verifying.

Failed 'make' with 2.17.27 from tarball

2013-09-29 Thread Thomas Morley
Hi,

for some testings I tried to compile 2.17.27 from the tarball to be found at:
http://lilypond.org/website/development.html
on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit

Without success. The terminal-output points me to
contributor.makeinfo.log

This file contains:

/home/me/lilypondH/lilypond-2.17.27/Documentation/contributor/programming-work.itexi:69:
warning: @image file `lilypond/pictures/architecture-diagram.txt' (for
text) unreadable: No such file or directory.
out/contributor.texi:101: @verbatiminclude `ly-grammar.txt': No such
file or directory.
makeinfo: Removing output file `out/lilypond-contributor.info' due to
errors; use --force to preserve.


Do we have a problem?

-Harm

Well, if everybody strictly does no more than X minutes on their
day, then the load would be spread out more evenly.

 It matches the theory.  In practice, I've been startled quite a few
 times when bug squad members not just verified the commit to be present
 but also reported back when it turned out that the claimed functionality
 did not actually accompany the commit.

Well, it's nice to have pleasant surprises?  :)

 Graham and I used to debate this.  His view was that all that is
 required of Bug Squad members is to verify that a claimed fix was
 committed.

Don't forget that using the issue tracker for patch submission is
a bit of a hack.  It was added because we were losing too many
patches.

If an issue is actual bug report, i.e. contains a minimal example,
then of course the bug squad member should check that the minimal
example no longer produces the flawed graphical output.  I just
don't think it's worth inventing a lot of extra work for
patch-only issues.

 I do think that claimed fixes to real bugs should have a tiny
 example, and the bug squad should confirm that the tiny example
 no longer fails.  This could argue for a more rigorous approach
 to bug acceptance: no example, no report.

Don't we already have a no example, no report policy for bugs?!
We certainly should.
