Lilypond 1.6.0 fink package for MacOS X now available

I'm pleased to announce that a fink package for lilypond 1.6.0 is now in the fink CVS repository.

To try it:

- Get the Fink package manager from http://fink.sourceforge.net
- Get the Lilypond package description by enabling the "unstable" tree in fink and executing "fink selfupdate-cvs" (In my last announcement, I had suggested "fink selfupdate", which does not necessarily offer to try CVS).
- Install the Lilypond package by executing

        fink install lilypond

[Note that the package is now named lilypond, NOT lilypond-unstable]. That's it! The command should compile & install all Lilypond prerequisites (python, TeX, X11, ghostscript) and then Lilypond itself.

Please let me know about your success or failure in using this package. The more feedback I get, the sooner the lilypond package can be folded into the main fink distribution. I've run some examples to establish that the package should work in principle, but I'm not sufficiently familiar with lilypond and the examples to be truly sure that everything works as it should.
Matthias
P.S.: Would anybody be interested in taking over the lilypond-unstable fink package? I was not able to give this the attention and regular updates it deserved, so unless somebody is interested in taking over, it's probably better to retire that package now that a stable package is available.
