Hi all, I'm investigating Debian again, looking for a new system for me. So far I've done a pretty minimal installation of Debian Buster (current "Testing"), looked for LilyPond and Guile - and was somewhat surprised.
Last time I looked I found that the "lilypond" package had been removed from Debian Stretch (which has become the current stable release in the meantime), along with the removal of Guile 1.8. So I was surprised to see that a lilypond package is again available for Buster, albeit only 2.18.2. Further investigation turned out that obviously LilyPond has been reintroduced with Buster, and is also available in Stretch as a backport (see https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=lilypond&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all) Guile 1.8 on the other hand is not available in Stretch nor Buster - but in Sid (unstable branch), with the label "debports". If I'm not mistaken Debian only provides packages that are compiled by them, so LilyPond can only be included when Guile 1.8 is also present. So I'm actually wondering how the "lilypond" package could get into Stretch and Buster. Could someone with more knowledge update me on this?
