Hi,
Sorry that you haven't gotten a response. Hopefully someone will take a
look at this.
If you haven't received a response on any of your other emails, please
bump those. We would not want emails to slip through the cracks. It is
usually that we just forget to respond or assume someone else will
respond, so please be persistent until you get a response. It is not
considered impolite at all to kindly bump your emails after a certain
time if no response.
By the way, would you mind testing whether it works well to build LyX on
FreeBSD with CMake?
Best,
Scott
