3.2.3 Other repositories

We have a few other code repositories.


lilypond-extra

There is a separate repository for general administrative scripts, as well as pictures and media files for the website. People interested in working on the website should download this repository, and set their $LILYPOND_WEB_MEDIA_GIT environment variable to point to that repository.

https://github.com/gperciva/lilypond-extra

To configure an environment variable in bash (the default for most GNU/Linux distributions),

export LILYPOND_WEB_MEDIA_GIT=$HOME/dir/of/lilypond-extra/

Grand Unified Builder (GUB)

Another item of interest might be the Grand Unified Builder, our cross-platform building tool. Since it is used by other projects as well, it is not stored in our gub repository. For more info, see http://lilypond.org/gub.

There are two locations for this repository: the version being used to build lilypond, which is at

http://github.com/gperciva/gub

and the original version by Jan Nieuwenhuizen, kept at

http://github.com/janneke/gub

lilypad

Our binary releases on MacOS X and Windows contain a lightweight text editor. This code is here:

https://github.com/gperciva/lilypad

yet more repositories

There are a few other repositories floating around, which will hopefully be documented in the near future.
