Re: LilyPond Linux distro?

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi Ryan,

like Frederico mentioned, you don't need more than damn small linux, 
lilypond and frescobaldi.
But one thing, I would like to ask in this context is, what would it 
mean, to set up a repository - in ubuntu it probably would be a PPA on 
launchpad - where you can install the current stable and the current 
devel version of lilypond?
Then one could have a live system on a flash drive where lilypond is 
updated by apt-get.
And one more idea: On my system I have stable- and devel-lilypond in my 
home directory in folders lily2.16 and lily.2.17. Then I have a script 
in ~/bin/lilypond:
exec "/path/to/lilyinstallations/lily`cat 
/path/to/version/file/lily-version`/bin/$me" "$@"
Now I can switch between versions with one text file. The version file 
could be located in /etc or ~/.local and the installations in filders 
like /usr/share/lilypond/2.16

Just an idea ;)

Cheers,
Jan-Peter
