Comment #17 on issue 3473 by [email protected]: Patch: Rewrite
STEPMAKE_GET_VERSION.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3473
I don't want to alienate anybody, but just like minimal examples
are our best bet to identify the source of a bug, minimal patches
are our best bet to understand where potential new regressions
are introduced.
While I agree that this is a good approach for the lilypond executable, run
by thousands of people, I think it is an unnecessary complication for the
build system. We don't have to take care of regressions in case everything
is building fine; it automatically means that there is *no* regression...
Essentially, if a build change passes the build tests, then it's just fine
IMHO. We do preach to everyone not to build from the source, don't we?
If I had to select one of your minimum patches, I would select the one
which ignores stderr.
BTW, I'm still waiting for opinions from other developers :-)
