Now that Mageia4 is out with Lilypond-2.18.0. We are working on the next

Lilypond is now the only package (Gnucash has been ported to and Requires 
Guile-2) that requires
Guile < 2.0. I have built Lilypond-2.19.3 with Guile-1.8.
That said, Guile-1.8 gets more and more difficult to build and I am afraid it's 
going to be dropped
from our next Distribution release and as a result Lilypond will not be in the 
next release by the
end of 2014 unless it will build and work with Guile-2.
Is there a time-line for Lilypond with Guile-2? Will it be before November 2014?
If not I am not going spend my time to put Lilypond-2.19.x into Cauldron (the 
Mageia development
version)


There is no timeline, but an entry for GSoC at http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2014.html#lilypond to hopefully attract a paid developer to work on this. It's possible that there would be some development version ready by November, but unlikely that it would be stable release quality (my own assessment).

Julien
