In a nutshell, they aren't. Once Guile 2.0.12 becomes available in Ubuntu _or_ works reasonably well non-installed, there may be some more attempt to get this to work, until the next Guile flaws not sanely addressable in LilyPond are discovered and one has to wait for the next Guile release. Guile takes about 1-2 years for a 2.0.x release these days, and Ubuntu takes 1/4 to 3/4 years to pick up a new release. I guess that there will likely be still 2-3 such iterations, so it's more likely that the game will get restarted on Guile-2.2 at some point before it plays out on Guile-2.0. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
