Details

Description:

The current lilypond package depends on the package guile1.8 for the Guile implementation.
According to Debian ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=746005#312 ) it should be possible to use the more recent Guile 2.2 ( "guile" package in ArchLinux ) beginning with the latest version 2.22.0.
Lilypond is one of only two remaining users of the fairly old Guile 1.8 in the ArchLinux repos.
(Actually Guile 2.2 is "legacy" at this point in time)

Additional info:
* package: lilypond 2.22.0
This task depends upon

@t-8ch: Thanks for the report.

The recommendation to stick with guile1.8 actually came from upstream IIRC. This was pre 2.22.0 though I think.
I'll switch to guile for the next release.

No, the recommendation was *for* 2.22.0 and holds for all bugfix releases. Execution with Guile 2.2 is possible as a last resort, but slower and known to crash in a number of cases. Please switch back to Guile 1.8.

@hahnjo: Thanks for getting back on this! I should have added a note to the PKGBUILD. It's hard to remember these details with so many packages.

I'll rebuild against guile1.8 and re-release.
