[Update] Lilypond

Hi folks!
I'm not exactly shure whether I'm posting in the right place here, but nevertheless, the package "lilypond" (a music typesetter) in community needs upgrading.
The version in [community] and the AUR is 2.10.25, the newest is 2.10.33. I the package was already tagged as outdated, but as nothing happend I didn't find any information on such cases in the wiki, I decided posting here. Please correct me if i'm wrong

Here's the updated PKGBUILD:

pkgname=lilypond
pkgver=2.10.33
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An automated music engraving system"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://lilypond.org"
license=('GPL')
depends=('ec-fonts-mftraced' 'guile' 'python' 'tetex' 'ghostscript' 'pango' 'fontforge')
makedepends=('flex' 'bison' 'gettext' 'mftrace' 'texinfo')
source=("http://lilypond.org/download/v2.10/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")
md5sums=('86a67fcc404e942be723f8a72988b286')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-ncsb-dir=/usr/share/fonts/Type1
  #Stop from making info pages
  sed -i "s:SUBDIRS=user bibliography pictures topdocs  misc:SUBDIRS=bibliography pictures topdocs  misc:" \
      Documentation/GNUmakefile
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install || return 1
  install -D -m755 buildscripts/out/lilypond-words $startdir/pkg/usr/share/lilypond/$pkgver/buildscripts/out/lilypond-words
  find $startdir/pkg -name 'fonts.cache-1' -exec rm {} \;
}

Just changed the version and md5sum, compiles and runs fine here.

Hope the package get's updated now

Thx and bye

Re: [Update] Lilypond

Look in the PKGBUILD for the email address of the maintainer , in this case filoktetes, and mail them.

You could also add a comment to AUR that all that's needed is a change of the version number and md5sums.

Re: [Update] Lilypond

Is it possible that the 'ec-fonts-mftraced' dependency can be removed? Anyway, I cannot find any sources on the web any more.
