Gub does not build everything from git or svn. The opposite is true: Most are
just stable releases. This is the case for any glib related lib, too. The main
things that change are Denemo and Lilypond.

Like I said. Its not that uncontrollable.
So in this case I highly suspect Lilypond. We need to build from a stable
release in any case. Building Lilypond from git to release Denemo is still not
a good idea.
So the next step is to rewind lilypond or, in the best case, use stable .12
until .14 comes out and then carefully check whats new.
