Re: guile-2.0 and debian

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi list,

I am watching the guile-2-threads grow and really do appreciate that! 
Many thanks to Antonio, Harm, David, Federico, et al for allyour efforts 
on this!

There is a another question I have in mind: What would it mean to create 
LilyDev as a container-based-solution? On my laptop and my working 
machine I regularly use LXC to start Apache or Tomcat inside a container 
for testing purposes. And if I have to test something I often do that 
inside a container 
(https://www.stgraber.org/2014/01/17/lxc-1-0-unprivileged-containers/).

Is there a script, which prepares an ubuntu installation for lilydev 
(beside apt-get build-dep lilypond) and gub? That way one can set up a 
container, run the setup-script (prob. with options to select either 
guile 1.8 or 2.0.12/13). The lilydev-solution is just an iso to 
download. But if you want to test with different guile-versions, you 
have to provide a vm for each one of them. Containers are much lighter 
and smaller and use less cpu and take the memory they need - not a fixed 
amount in the vm-settings.

Summary: Which steps/tasks need to be performed by a setup script to 
prepare a ubuntu-based installation for lilypond-development and gub 
(using the local lilypond-sources)?
I say ubuntu-based as lilydev is based on it. But other distributions 
might as well work.
