Yes, unfortunately i do have it this way here as well. :-(

I run debian/unstable which is updated almost on a daily basis and
there is still no gcc-3.0 included in the Debian FTP archive. And i
really don't want to mess with a gcc prerelease.
But if you'd like to, you could just send me along the appropriately
namend binary (lyx_1.1.6fix2-0.gcc3.0 or something) and i'd put it on
the FTP server for public consumption?

I don't know. If he could be maintaining the LyX Debian package more
frequently i wouldn't bother compiling it on my own. I guess he has a
good reason for not regularily updating the Debian package. Maybe he
cares mostly about stable releases (which is a very good reason IMHO)?
No, i won't the official Debian package for LyX although i've got the
Debian blessing being an official member of the project. Maintaining
a package for Debian is lots more than just once in a while drop in a
random .deb binary and unfortunately takes more time i could
definitely provide.
To tell the truth, i even don't really use LyX myself, maybe just a
few times a year. I feel more comfortable with AUCTeX on any kind of
(X)Emacs and actually only compile the unofficial .deb because i like
LyX so much, that i want others to be able to just drop in a mostly up
to date release. LyX is just too great to be ignored... ;-)
Thanks for the feedback, P. *8^)
