Just to follow up on this, I exchanged a few messages on Reddit with Colin
Watson (who's leading the git-support effort) following this announcement:
http://blog.launchpad.net/general/git-code-hosting-beta
Looks like right now, git hosting is available in beta version, but
webooks (e.g. to trigger automated testing) are not yet. Colin's
expectation was that these would arrive soon, but for obvious reasons he
wasn't willing to provide a concrete ETA.
I'm going on the assumption that, with fully featured git support fully in
place, Launchpad could host code, and handle both issue tracking and the
review of merge requests (including automated testing); its issues allow
the attachment of files (which ought to take care of Lilypond examples
attached to issues, but I'd need to check that any file size limits meet
Lilypond's issue requirements).
However, I'd like to be sure I'm not missing any requirements, given
Lilypond's rather particular needs. Any chance someone with a more
detailed understanding of requirements than me could prepare a list of
"must have" features for any new hosting service? Just something that I
can run past launchpad folks on IRC or suchlike as a sanity-check that
this really would be a workable solution.
