Subject: RFA: lyx -- High Level Word Processor Package: wnpp Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the lyx package. The package is not in a bad state but I don't have too much time to maintain it. The most important unresolved problem: after upgrade there are problems with ~/.lyx configuration directory and often somethink doesn't work with old config. I don't want to just sponsor this package. If you're not a developer, I orphan the package. Rather I'd like to start the group project on Alioth. The package description is: LyX is an almost WYSIWYG-frontend for LaTeX that runs under the X Window System. It makes the power and typesetting quality of LaTeX available for people who are used to word processors. Since LyX supports LaTeX's concept of general mark-ups, it is even easier and faster to create professional quality documents with it than with usual word processors. It is also possible to use LaTeX-commands within LyX, so nothing of LaTeX's power is lost. . This meta-package installs LyX common files, the frontend (Qt or XForms) and other packages needed by LyX. . This package can be safely removed after install. . You can extend the functionality of LyX by installing these packages: * ispell or aspell: an interactive spelling corrector * kdeprint or lpr: a printing tool * konqueror or www-browser: allows to view HTML documents * kghostview or postscript-viewer: allows to view PostScript documents * kghostview or pdf-viewer: allows to view PDF documents * sgmltools-lite: allows to export SGML DocBook documents * linuxdoc-tools: allows to export SGML LinuxDoc documents * rcs: allows to use versioning feature * tex4ht or hevea or tth or latex2html: allows to export HTML documents * gnuhtml2latex: allows to import HTML documents * wv: allows to import Word documents -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers experimental APT policy: (950, 'experimental'), (900, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.4-1-686 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL -- Piotr Roszatycki, Netia SA .''`. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' `-
