LyX is collaboratively maintained on salsa.debian.org.
It's currently maintained with the git-buildpackage toolchain in conjunction with pristine-tar and tarball imports, thus still disconnected
from the upstream git repository.

== TODO ==
 * Remove ttf-lyx transitional package. -> removed in git/master
   * Requires bug filling for remaining reverse dependencies.
   * Reassign all open bugs from ttf-lyx to fonts-lyx.
 * forward spelling patches to upstream and produce more of them - started with http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10678 - closed, should be better with 2.3.x on-wards
 * Send patches upstream. We should aim at having a minimal packaging, as much as possible should be sent upstream. Only Debian-specific and "packaging-specific" stuff should be kept.
  * prefer-xdg-open - Will be Debian specific until all other issue with xdg-open are solved. [[http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg133878.html|Discussion on lyx-devel.]] sensible-editor has problems too, see [[http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7448|#7448]].

== general notes ==
 * Since at least 2.1.0 there is a build dependency on bc to compare Qt versions, see also:

  * http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-lyx-devel/2014-September/006379.html
 * Lintian warning: "I: lyx: spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/lyx collapsable collapsible" - got forwarded by SvenHoexter some time ago to upstream, but was declined by a general disagreement about the correct spelling depending on country you're in.
