Re: Newer version for FreeBSD

[Gordon Gilbert]

Hi all!

I have been using Lilypond now for about 9 months, and have printed out a 
number of different scores for various purposes.  The program works 
great!!  I've had relatively little difficulty tweaking the files to 
produce what I want.

But being a non-geek, I am very much dependent on the ports version 
(2.2.2).  I realise it's possible to install stuff in FreeBSD from 
other sources, but I'm the type of person who belongs in the "Parents 
don't try this without supervision" category.  Anything I try on my own 
usually wrecks several more things that were just fine before ...

So.  I've been watching ports for some time now, hoping that Lilypond 
would be upgraded there.  I have tried writing to the maintainer listed 
there as well.  To no avail.  Is there anybody out there running FreeBSD 
5.3 or thereabouts who could take the time to place a newer -- stable -- 
version in ports?  Or who could step-by-step guide us non-geeks in the 
successful installation of a newer version on our machine?

Blessings,

Father Gordon Gilbert+
