If the interfaces are not stable enough As a sidenote, We incorporate a copy of the GUILE library in the binaries that we ship for lilypond. People (call them 'clients' if you like) that go out and create binaries on their own are a QA nightmare, as there is no way to be sure that their configuration is working correctly. This makes it a lot easier to deal with broken dependencies as well: if we find a bug in a dependency, we fix it, and a patched version of the dependency is included in the next lily release. We do this for all dependencies except glibc. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanwen@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
