Comment #17 on issue 3473 by address@hidden: Patch: Rewrite STEPMAKE_GET_VERSION.

I don't want to alienate anybody, but just like minimal examples are our best bet to identify the source of a bug, minimal patches are our best bet to understand where potential new regressions are introduced.
While I agree that this is a good approach for the lilypond executable, run by thousands of people, I think it is an unnecessary complication for the build system. We don't have to take care of regressions in case everything is building fine; it automatically means that there is *no* regression...
Essentially, if a build change passes the build tests, then it's just fine IMHO. We do preach to everyone not to build from the source, don't we?
If I had to select one of your minimum patches, I would select the one which ignores stderr.
BTW, I'm still waiting for opinions from other developers :-) --You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
