Oops, I didn't see that, but that is sure alarming...

Actually, I already uploaded LilyPond 2.2.2-2 last Friday.  Sorry, life
had been very hectic over the last few months, and it took me about two or
three days to catch up with the latest happenings with LilyPond and
finally got it updated the way it is now...  Sorry for leaving LilyPond
not updated for so long.


lilypond (2.2.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.  (Closes: Bug#242861)
    - Thanks to Pedro Kroeger for providing interim sid packages while
      I was away for an extended period of time.
  * Copied some ideas from Ferenc Wagner's LilyPond for woody (Thanks!):
     - Split out shared data to lilypond-data package.  (Closes: Bug#233406)
     - Make lilypond-data conflict with earlier lilypond versions.
     - debian/control: Relaxed autotrace Build-Depends (>= 0.29).
     - debian/control: Added imagemagick Build-Depends (>= 5.4.4.5).
  * Added more details to lilypond package description.  (Closes: Bug#245370)
  * gs-gpl 8.01 (and gs-afpl 8.14) dies when building LilyPond docs.
    (Known -sDEVICE=bbox bug in gs 8.01 and newer, see gs-gpl Bug#250290.)
    Added Build-Conflict-Indep: gs-gpl (>= 8.01) | gs-afpl (Closes: Bug#250622)
  * Build-Depends: fontforge | pfaedit.
  * debian/watch: Updated to new URL and new format.
  * vim/GNUmakefile: Install $(vimdir)/*/lilypond.vim scripts with "-m 644".

Since I splitted the package similar to what Ferenc did, it requires
manual confirmation by Debian's admin, so hopefully you'll see this new
version on packages.debian.org before the end of the week.

Meanwhile, you may download the new packages here:

Jan, if possible, please remove these files from the upstream source
tree:

        debian/lilypond1.7*.dirs
        debian/lilypond.dirs
        debian/postinst
        debian/prerm
        debian/postrm

Many thanks!  :-)

Anthony
