"simplifies matters" -- not really. It's the only possible way. We do all other versions via crosscompilation. > Question: How difficult/costly/... would it be to prepare a "daily > build from current master" for download? Very. We are talking about 6 hours of build time on a pretty solidly powered 8-processor machine. Actually, we _were_ talking about that before adding the Catalan translation to the docs and further complicating the Documentation build process in order to get more compact PDFs. > While this certainly would be overkill during times when there's a new > unstable release every few weeks or so, it would I think, by way of > contrast, highlight the status of the unstable releases more clearly: > "The stable releases are rock-solid; the unstable releases usually > work flawlessly but are subject to change; the daily build is > something for the reckless and impatient."

There will be another prerelease coming up soonish as there were again a few (just not all) critical fixes. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
