• Diff for "PkgLyx"

LyX is collaboratively maintained in the pkg-lyx Alioth project.

• SvenHoexter is currently working on the package.

• PerOlofsson is sponsoring uploads.

TODO

The aim: Get Lyx 1.4.2 into Debian/sid

• Additional package dvipost [done]
• Frontends: qt and xforms

• Use a Subversion repository at Alioth. Requested: http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=303488&group_id=1&atid=200001

• Fix bugs

dvipost

• Edit the short description - do not start with "A" http://www.de.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-pkg-synopsis

• Rework the post* scripts to be only called when really necessary
• remove the commented out lines from rules

lyx

• look which changes to the packaging are required - Diff between 1.3.6 packaging and Georgs unoffical package is here: ftp://hxt.homelinux.org/debstuff/136-vs-142georg.diff

• sort out the bugreports -> ask for feedback for all others

• put the debian dir in subversion and find out how svn-buildpackage works
• Which version is the right one unless 1.4.2 is released - 1.3.6+1.4.2svn2006..., 1.4.1+1.4.2svn2006..., 1.4.2svn2006...
• Should we recommend rcs and dvipost or depend on them?
• Make it binNMU-safe.
• Break dependency loop?

• lyx-qt and lyx-xforms should only depend directly on the libraries they really use. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/11/msg00016.html
