Liviu Andronic has provided a PPA for LyX for a while now, but I haven't seen him on the list for a little while. Note that it is pretty easy to build LyX yourself on Linux. I can give instructions if you need them. The main thing is just getting the build dependencies installed. I think "apt-get build-deps lyx" will do that, though I'm not sure if that gives you Qt4 or Qt5. RKH
