Is lilydev a debian-based virtual machine. I absolutely DO NOT get on with Debian based distros. SuSE and gentoo are my thing, I've tried Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, dunno what else ... if it's debian-based I hated it. I don't know why, I didn't get on with Red Hat either, despite SuSE and RH being rpm-based.
(Actually, I started using gentoo, because the latest SuSE was not sufficiently up-to-date to compile a development copy of lilypond! :-) But anyways, the main point of this email is to point out that pushing debian could cost you developers - I don't know how many people like me there are out there, but if I have to use a debian-based system my reaction is likely to be "thanks but no thanks". (That said, I think a ready-prepped virtual machine is a very good idea, just don't assume "one size fits all") Cheers, Wol _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
