Dear Lyx users, I recently passed to Debian (wheezy - testing) from a Ubuntu machine where I installed Lyx 2.1. To my great surprise, I found that the current Lyx version supported in Debian is v2.0.6 because the package seems no more maintained since last summer (see http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lyx.html ). Unfortunately, as you may know, Lyx 2.1 generates lyx files that are incompatible with Lyx 2.0.6. There is the export function but it is not convenient when you work collaboratively with peers that use Lyx 2.1 (that is my case). Apart from asking colleagues to downgrade to Lyx 2.0.x (with subsequent complaints) is there any workaround to install Lyx 2.1 in Debian? Please consider that the current lyx package maintainer is looking for a new maintainer: if someone in the list is a Debian passionate/expert may consider the invitation... that would be a great aid!
