Re: LilyPond 2.23.6 released

[Omid Mo'menzadeh]

Thanks for the amazing work.
I get a bunch "Fontconfig error: No writable cache directories" warnings
using Guile 2.2, that I don't get with Lilypond compiled with Guile 1.8.
This might be a packaging issue, but since I'm using both on the same
system, I thought I'd share. The run-time is also heavily slower using
Guile 2.2, with 13.37s for Guile 1.8 and 64.68s for Guile 2.2, which might
partly be related to the warning I mentioned.

I'm using NixOS unstable. I will attach my shell.nix file to help with
reproduction if needed..
