Re: lilypond-book inserts stanzas entered at the bottom of a song on top of it

2008-06-17 Thread Claus Tirel

 Please note that there is a waste of time to send bug reports
 on such an old version of LilyPond. In fact, even bug reports
 related to the latest stable version, 2.10, are mostly ignored

Not to mention this limited interest on the lilypond bug page 
(http://lilypond.org/web/devel/participating/bugs), where participation 
is so much encouraged, is - in my opinion - a waste of time.


In fact, the version number was a mistake. But both reported bugs remain 
when using the actual version number 2.10.25.


To ignore user's bug reports because of the mentioned version number is, 
in my view, a mistake as long as the reported bugs still exist.

Not at all! For example, from version 2.10.0 to 2.10.33, a tremendous 
number of bugs have been
fixed, and even more have been fixed in the current development series, 
2.11.x.
A brief discussion about the bug fixing activities during the last 
months is included in

http://valentin.villenave.info/The-LilyPond-Report-12.
Still, if you are interested in joining forces, you are very welcome!

It turns out that the bug fixes I had in mind, when sending my previous 
reply were not included in
2.10.33, but only in the 2.11.x releases. However, I can confirm that 
the lilypond-book problems

you report do not appear with the latest development version.

Of course we don't do that. the bug report responsible person always 
checks bug reports to see
if they apply to the latest version and if they do, then they are 
included in the bug database.

2008-06-17 Thread Claus Tirel
Don't get me wrong. I was not reproaching you to have no interest in bug 
reports at all.


When talking of a limited interest I was refering to Mats statement, 
saying that



even bug reports
related to the latest stable version, 2.10, are mostly ignored


I find nothing negative about having a limited or call it 'selective' 
interest in bug reports. I fully understand, that you have only limited 
resources and I don't reproach you anything for that. All I suggest is 
to mention it on the website, with a sentence like:


Please do not send any bug reports, concerning earlier versions than 
the current stable/experimental release, which is version version 
number.


At least, if I had read that, I would not have spent my time creating 
minimal examples, in which the bug still appears, and writing bug 
reports intended to support you, but in fact only wasting your precious 
time.

Please note that there is a waste of time to send bug reports
on such an old version of LilyPond. In fact, even bug reports
related to the latest stable version, 2.10, are mostly ignored
since the next stable release 2.12 is to appear within a not
so distant future.

This particular bug should be fixed in 2.10, though.
