Hello, The new releases of LilyPond show how simple it is currently to install the program: it is simply a matter of unpacking an archive wherever you want.
This is very powerful and it means that any application (see: editors) using LilyPond is potentially able to install it automagically, without forcing the user to do this task manually, by downloading the archive from the download page and unpacking it in some internal directory . However, I notice a problem with this: the download page for new releases is currently only on GitLab. I don't know if these download links are stable enough or suitable to be used by a program that relies on them in order to install the application. For example, for JavaScript libraries, a content delivery service like cdnjs (https://cdnjs.com/) ensures the stability of download links. What do you think? Is it worth having at least a mirror of the download links on a website like cdnjs? Best, Paolo
