Hard. It takes at least an hour (more probably 2 hours) to install all this stuff and find and read relevant information (when i was installing lilydev my first time, it took me half of the night). And don't forget additional 5 GB of space you need for the VM, and that you have to use a completely new, unfamiliar environment (i.e. a new OS). Compare it to something like github (i'm not saying we should use github, that's just an example) when it takes 2 minutes and you can do everything in your browser (obviously, i'm speaking about small patches). To me, the difference is obvious. Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
