Thanks for the info.
Just out of curiosity - why isn't the LSR kept up-to-date with the 
latest release? The lastest stable release is 2.12.2 according to the 
lily homepage, yet the LSR Contributing page says it is running 2.10.12 
and at the same time says it always runs the latest stable release.
