JoshStrobl moved this task from Backlog to Accepted For Inclusion on the Package Requests board.

Tried to package, however LillyPond requires Guile version 1.8.8. Version 2.x of Guile is not currently supported.

"guile-devel, version: 2.0.14, release: 5" is the current Solus package version.

JoshStrobl added a subscriber: JoshStrobl.

Moving to Awaiting Package Updates pending a new version of lilypond.

Still requires guile <1.9 as of lilypond-2.19.65.tar.gz

Looks like unstable release 2.19.80+ support guile2 (guile >= 2). Moving this package to Accepted for Inclusion pending new attempt at packaging..

I gave a try with version 2.19.80 and I got this error during the build
ERROR: Please install required programs: guile-config < 1.9.0 (installed: 2.0.14)

JoshStrobl claimed this task.

Closing since upstream does not appear to be actively moving towards a new stable release with guile2

I'd like to come back to Solus but can't seem to locate Lilypond and Frescobaldi packages. I remember using Solus 3 last year when the latest versions of those two packages were available. I welcome your advice. Thank you!
