So, how about the following?1. Include a local copy of guile-1.8 (multiple upstream tarballs) in our LilyPond 1.18.2 packaging, probably compiling guile-1.8 statically into so that a functional and stable LilyPond can stay in Debian. I would be happy to do all the hands-on work, and provide the necessary patches if successful, to make #1 happen before the Stretch Freeze.
Hi Anthony,thanks for your ideas to help LilyPond stay in Debian stable -- however, I'm afraid that we're a bit late with that. As you're probably aware of, LilyPond is currently not in testing. The release managers have set this deadline:
[2017-Jan-05] Soft freeze (no new packages, no re-entry, 10-day migrations)At this point, we don't have ten days left for the migration to testing, even if we could upload right now. Unfortunately, this means that lilypond will not be allowed to re-enter testing.
I think you would need to ask the release managers if they would unblock this package for Stretch, otherwise an upload will not make much sense.
To be honest, I doubt that they will grant a freeze exception, even more so if the plan is to include guile 1.8, which has been removed from testing for a while now.
Regards, Tobias
