Oh.

How much work would it be to meet Savannah's licensing/guideline restrictions regarding binary blobs and stuff? How many of those are LilyPond-specific? If there are technically unavoidable obstacles, the special strategical significance of GUB might still make it possible to negotiate about the hosting with Richard Stallman, currently the ultimate decision maker. I think that cross-platform support is currently troublesome for enough projects that the "compile under GNU/Linux, provide everywhere" approach of GUB would mean a significant concentration of efforts for other GNU projects as well. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
