A bug which happened to have been noticed in a version compiled from git might have existed for some time. We don't expect the Bug Squad to do this research, do we?We expect the Bug Squad to test on the latest development release.OK. I see one of the actions for a Bug Squad member is to generate a png file demonstrating the problem. This clearly would demonstrate whether a problem which happened to be noticed in a git build was present in the latest GUB release. So I was wrong - we _do_ expect them to do this research. Presumably they should forward the report to -dev if the bug does not show in the latest GUB release.The original report said "does not work with lates git Lilypond 2.13.35 but works on 2.13.34-1". So my interpretation of this is that there is no bug on any release that most Bug Squad members could test to or generate output from.
Yes, that's fine. I wasn't concerned with this particular issue, which was quite clear, but with the general procedure to deal with the case when a bug is reported on -bug which has been observed in a git build. This case is not covered explicitly in the CG. It seems it should either be forwarded to -dev or made the subject of a new issue depending on whether or not the bug manifests itself in the latest GUB build. Checking that and carrying out the appropriate action is a Bug Squad responsibility. Trevor BTW, please don't reply to messages in newsgroups. I don't subscribe to any and that makes them very messy for me to reply to.
