It seems the Debian people are out of the loop on this package. I use wajig (super set of apt package management) so update my systems. Command wajig news (pakagename)
wajig news lilypond : --------- snip ----------- " Description: lilypond - A program for typesetting sheet music lilypond-data - LilyPond music typesetter (data files) lilypond1.3 - Dummy package for transition to new stable lilypond Changes: lilypond (2.4.5-2) unstable; urgency=low * debian/control (Build-Depends): Build system demands you have ec-fonts-mftraced installed to build, so do it. " That's why we don't have a 2.6 *stable* lilyond on Debian when the Red Hat Folks do. This is a pretty active list and I think we can generate enough noise to get this changed. Lilypond at this point is any but unstable and the urgency is not LOW by any means. I believe we no longer use EC fonts and feta is the standard. -------------- end snip -------- wajig has a facility for using an rpm to install from, i haven't tried this but I know people have used it with some success. I just don't know who to talk to at Debian to let them know there is a sizable community out here interested and using this package! I think the DiMuDi/Agnuala people do though! I posted a few weeks ago about this iissue and Russel Harris asked where I'd seen the quote about its "low urgency" and i couldnt' remember.. here it is now! Perhaps we can get this changed.
