The packages are here: http://download.tuxfamily.org/emiscabpo/lyx15-bpo/ On http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnDebian you'll find a link to http://emiscabpo.wordpress.com/2008/01/19/lyx-15x-and-145-backports/ telling you what to put in your souces.list so that you can apt-get install them. > It would be nice with our new site to have a proper download area and > packages from identified sources.

I don't think so. People who know what they're doing will simply download the Debian source package and make the changes needed to build it on stable or one of the Debian derived distritbutions. It's mostly about reading how dpkg-buildpackage or debuild works if you're just building packages for your own. pbuilder is a bonus and makes it saver to not miss a build-dependency and is mandatory if you want to give the packages to other people. Beside that it's all in a public svn repo so that you can check it out aswell. Nearly every piece of information about the package can be reached from the PTS http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lyx.html As long as we keep up with the packaging for Debian I'd prefer that the pkg-lyx-devel group on http://alioth.debian.org is the central place for LyX packaging for Debian. We're always open for new contributers and new input so if someone would like to get something changed he can always submit bugreports or mail to the mailinglist at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheers, Sven -- If God passed a mic to me to speak I'd say stay in bed, world Sleep in peace [The Cardigans - 03:45: No sleep]
