My gripe with it is that we're using the repository as a form of
communication. I think you will get more useful input if you use email
discussions for communication. If you position tolsr as dumping
ground, that is what you will get: dumped stuff, i.e. garbage.
Well, this is up to you and Joe (since you guys do 90% of the new
features). When you add a new feature to lilypond, in addition to
adding a regtest, please add a snippet that demonstrates the feature to
the appropriate subdir of input/tolsr/ . (this snippet might be an
exact copy of the regtest)
ie if you add a new page spacing feature, it would go in
input/tolsr/spacing/
(I'll create all the subdirs of input/tolsr/ in a few days; "spacing"
currently doesn't exist)
When LSR uses the version of lilypond that includes those features (ie
the next stable release), everything in input/tolsr/ will be moved into
LSR and deleted from git. Alternately, we could just use the NEWS.tely
for all such features -- and strictly enforce the "no new features
without a NEWS item, even if there's a regtest".
The whole idea behind the tolsr "dumping ground" was to make it easier
for developers to document new features.
Cheers,
