330.7 MB to download, 905.2 MB when installed?

Synaptic says size 4293 kB, download 1535 kB for v 2.12.3-7ubuntu1 in
my Ubuntu 11.04 system.

Looks very wrong. Or, does that include all of texlive or something?

I just registered.  As part of the terms of service, we have to agree to
supply either a W-9 or a foreign certification.

As a US resident, I'd have to do a W-9 if I did it.  A non-resident could
use the foreign certification.

Maybe we could take this conversation off-line.

Thanks,

Then you wouldn't be able to do offline installations. (And it would
add more complexity to the installer; NSIS can do that pretty easily
on Windows, but I'm highly doubtful when it comes to Mac and
GNU/Linux.)

If anything, I think it's _Frescobaldi_ that should include a recent
LilyPond build. Not sure if Wilbert has enough available co-developers
to handle it, though. (Much less for multiple platforms.)

Anyway: please tell me if I should update my "job offer" for a Mac OS
X maintainer on the latest LilyReport :-)

Valentin.

generally +1.
I'd do this in this way: when the installer installs LilyPond, ask the
user if he wants to install Frescobaldi too.  Thus, we won't make our
installer larger and won't have to compile Frescobaldi on our own.

Note that lilypad-osx and lilypad-windows are completely different
beasts.  Different functionality, different GUI, different code
base.

I'm not eager to double the download size of a lilypond binary.
I'm not at all certain that we want to "bundle" an editor such as
frescobaldi... but of course it's worth considering and
discussing.

But nothing can happen without GUB getting under control.  Nothing
can change in terms of the end-user GUIs -- but also once I leave
Glasgow in a few months, nothing will happen in terms of binary
releases at all.  I'm not going to install ubuntu 10.04 when I'm

It's different on mac.  Not by a huge amount, but it *does* have

That's set in my .profile or .bashrc - cannot remember off hand -
LilyDev has this set and I know I use echo $LILYPOND_GIT it reports
back /home/james/lilypond-git. The python scripts also 'complain' if
you don't have it set, they check and report back, so again I know
from that perspective it all works.

Don't waste too much of your own time David, I just wanted to make
sure that running two commands in cron didn't need some special
'qualifier' or that I should use ';' instead of '&&' (although i know
the difference).

I'll try to figure it out.

Where does it get the LILYPOND_GIT variable?  Is it set elsewhere in the
cronfile?  If not, you need to write something like
LILYPOND_GIT=/home/james/lilypond-git python ...

As far as I understand, in spite of the initial activities of core
LilyPond developers, LilyPad is basically an external application that
we just wrap and don't actively codevelop (meaning that its overlap with
actual LilyPond development nowadays is rather minimal).

The principal goal is setting up the user with an environment where he
can start working right away.

We could pick a different target for that purpose.  Personally, I want
to get to a state where Emacs will make a compellingly useful part of
the music creation toolchain.  But it would still not be something you
would want to install as part of an installer for LilyPond.  It's more
like it would be nice to have some functionality looking for an
installed version of Emacs and integrating with it.

I think Frescobaldo might be a nice fit by now (as far as I understand,
it does no longer require KDE, merely Qt).  It does quite more than
LilyPad, integrates nice with a GUI, and still does not obscure working
with LilyPond, like the applications NtEd and similar do.

If you take a look at http://frescobaldi.org/download>, you'll find
that it is almost but not quite in a situation where we could use it on
all supported platforms when precompiled.  It would be more challenging
to let GUB actually compile it (and dependencies).

A perspective for delivering it as an integrated part of installers for
those platforms where we have to offer a complete bundle due to a lack
of sane packaging systems.  Oh, by the way: any of the OSX users have an
idea what is up with Fink?  I see

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/browse.php?summary=lilypond>

lilypond2.12.2-1GNU Music Typesetter
lilypond-devel  2.13.5-1GNU Music Typesetter

Which is not exactly impressive.  But I am digressing.

The point I wanted to make is that if one can cut out a coherent set of
requirements, it might be possible to get people from the Frescobaldi
community involved, and challenged into making MacOSX work if that's a
precondition for getting Frescobaldi into our installers.

The problem is that we can't even cut out a coherent set of requirements
for keeping LilyPad supported, let alone start on something new.  So it
would be clear that whoever was going to get interested in this project
would have to start with a _lot_ of fumbling in the dark with uncertain
outcome.

What is your complete cron line?  You are aware that the PATH variable
is set to a quite basic path?

\PointAndClickOn

That was a great feature for a 'mac user' like me. While I can run CLI
in terminal.app, getting another editor to work with pointAndClick was
fruitless and frustrating (at least for 2.12 and 2.13.x when I had my
mac).

So I'm with Graham on this one.

I cant seem to get cron jobs to run on my LilyDev - I've done all the
cron.allow etc. I was wondering (if anyone knows immediately) if
stating the command in cron requires anything special if using two
concatenated commands.

I.e. I run cd /home/james/lilypond-git && python
/home/james/patchy/lilypond-patchy-staging.py which works at the CLI
but not when I enter that literally in cron. I tried surrounding it in
" ' " but that didn't seem to make any difference.

I'll look more on the internet to see (man page wasn't that helpful).

Anyway, for now I have a 'while true do patchy then sleep 6 hours
done' loop running on my box at home which does the job just as well
until I figure why cron isn't working.

So I think after tonight you can consider patchy staging running on my
machine at home 24 x 7 (internet connection accepted :) ).

Phil, can I add you as a cc to patchy in case it all goes wrong and
you [don't]get the notification?
