Well, it would mean that anyone who wants lyx on mac has to install homebrew first. Some people might not like to install whole package manager just to get lyx. The upside might be that at the end Stephan does not need to prepare binaries anymore and the whole build process becomes automatized and transparent (little bit like in gentoo linux, where you prepare only build scripts and not binary packages, debian is slowly getting there via git/salsa based pipeline). How difficult is to built this on mac with all dependencies in place only Stephan knows (e.g. do we need/insert specific libraries etc like for windows?). The transparency and decreasing the bus factor is probably what I like most on the solution 1. Pavel -- lyx-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
