well, that's how development of free software works :-) > you'll probably need to be(come) a debian maintainer and do (or help > Anthony add) a 'new' package called lilypond-snapshot or something. > It would be very nice, though. the "new" package idea is very good. I was thinking of 1.9.x replacing 1.8 which now doesn't sound good because 1.9 is a development series. > > Should I contact the lilypond debian maintainer (Anthony Fok) and > > ask how I could help? > Yes, but it wouln't hurt to have something of a plan first. you're right. Since the debians are very strict with the way packages are created, uploaded, etc, I'll need to read the docs to get more knowledgeable. Having a "new" package will imply on installing the binaries in a different place than 1.8 and having a different name (in case one wants to install both 1.8.x and 1.9.x). But, AFAIK, they already have standards ways of handling cases like that. I'll check it out.
