Doesn't look like #Lilypond will be in #Debian #bullseye .

tracker.debian.org/pkg/lilypon

A shame. I suppose it will probably be in backports.

We closed the gap between Stage0 and Mes: the Full Source Bootstrap is near!

The package graph is now rooted in hex0, a #357-byte binary & ASCII-equivalent github.com/oriansj/bootstrap-s

Make your distro !

Say you want to test the effect of a libc patch on LibreOffice:

guix build libreoffice --with-patch=glibc=./my-glibc-tweak.patch

Granted, this example would contribute a fair deal to global warming, but the point is that this new option makes it easy to test patches:

The online #Guix Day #conference will take place on Sunday, November 22, and you can now watch the pre-recorded talks.

WATCH THEM NOW!

Or when you have time, until the 21. We will not have a dedicated time to watch them together on Sunday, instead we will have an extended Q&A of 25 (!) minutes for each subject.
