Is this a Debian/unstable problem, is it me, or any one of you or, speaking with the Monthy Pythons, something completely different?

Re: New Arrival
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jean-Marc Lasgouttes) writes: And then we would be only able to distribute precompiled binaries for windows, right? It will mostly be as free as motif is. I do not find this very exciting. Well, but users might be *very* excited about such a thing. Users (and lazy sysadmins) don't want to be bothered with sources anyway. A native win32 version based on QT would IMHO really smooth the way for LyX becoming *the* documentation word processor standard in large companies. People who need *their* work done are expected to not waste the time they are paid for with compiling sources. For example i work at HP Education in Germany translating american course material authored within a custom specialized SGML framework called HPCML. This framework was developed years ago for HP's course material but has proven in real world as just too awkward to be manageable by averagely knowledgeable employees (e.g. secretaries). Even i rather prefer directly editing the SGML file in XEmacs (on Linux) than in the specialized SGML authoring tool which was devised for this task. Well, end of story is that HP Education is switching over (actually already has largely switched) to MS-Word as standard course material authoring tool. LyX would have been perfect for the task but alas, it is no platform independent (in a corporate mindset: runs *good* in MS-Win too) option for it. :-( If LyX could be available even only as a binary on MS-Win as well, people in the same position as myself could probably convince the powers that are to switch over to a truly open standard. But since not even a binary only version is available, i fear there is no real possibility in any future to come. Too bad i'm no developer so that i could invest my time in such a beast. It could be a big popularity and publicity boost for LyX.

A native win32 version based on QT would IMHO really smooth the way for LyX becoming *the* documentation word processor standard in large companies. People who need *their* work done are expected to not waste the time they are paid for with compiling sources. For example i work at HP Education in Germany translating american course material authored within a custom specialized SGML framework called HPCML. This framework was developed years ago for HP's course material but has proven in real world as just too awkward to be manageable by averagely knowledgeable employees (e.g. secretaries). Even i rather prefer directly editing the SGML file in XEmacs (on Linux) than in the specialized SGML authoring tool which was devised for this task. Well, end of story is that HP Education is switching over (actually already has largely switched) to MS-Word as standard course material authoring tool. LyX would have been perfect for the task but alas, it is no platform independent (in a corporate mindset: runs *good* in MS-Win too) option for it. :-( If LyX could be available even only as a binary on MS-Win as well, people in the same position as myself could probably convince the powers that are to switch over to a truly open standard. But since not even a binary only version is available, i fear there is no real possibility in any future to come. Too bad i'm no developer so that i could invest my time in such a beast. It could be a big popularity and publicity boost for LyX.

Hi ! I would like to inform all of you, that you can download the new release of e:doc at "http://members.nextra.at/hfbuch/edoc/" e:doc has now reached a quite well-developed state, so you could do almost everything except nested lists and equations. The most improved parts of this version are: (+) Table objects within the document (looks very nice) (+) Search Replace dialog using regular expressions for serach AND replace terms (+) Improved API for extending e:doc with your own embeded objects (+) Backend specific tags that are only transformed into one of the backends (+) Image objects within the document ... and much more ... I would like to hear from you (installation problems, suggestions for improvements, etc.) ciao, thomas. -- Thomas Schmickl, Department for zoology Karl Franzens University Graz, Austria.

[FYI] ANN: e:doc, the WYSIWYM frontend for Latex and HTML released in version 0.1.2
Hi ! I would like to inform all of you, that you can download the new release of e:doc at "http://members.nextra.at/hfbuch/edoc/" e:doc has now reached a quite well-developed state, so you could do almost everything except nested lists and equations. The most improved parts of this version are: (+) Table objects within the document (looks very nice) (+) Search & Replace dialog using regular expressions for serach AND replace terms (+) Improved API for extending e:doc with your own embeded objects (+) Backend specific tags that are only transformed into one of the backends (+) Image objects within the document ... and much more ... I would like to hear from you (installation problems, suggestions for improvements, etc.) ciao, thomas. -- Thomas Schmickl, Department for zoology Karl Franzens University Graz, Austria.

The user interface is not very ergonomic (tear-off menus would be handy) and the functionality too (no undo). But this is under development and will change according to the included notes. It's a bit heavy on resources because the WYSIWYG obviously - unlike LyX - consumes quite some CPU power. It didn't feel very responsive on my iP233MMX with 64MB RAM.

It just didn't show up earlier because i virtually never use any program with any LANG setting defined other than the preset default standard we all use to communicate with each other.

Unofficial lyx_1.0.0-0.1_i386.deb available
Check out "ftp://ntama.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian/unofficial/" for unofficial libc6 binaries and debianized sources: source/lyx_1.0.0-0.1.diff.gz source/lyx_1.0.0-0.1.dsc source/lyx_1.0.0.orig.tar.gz (this is just the renamed original tar ball) binary/lyx_1.0.0-0.1_i386.deb It cleanly built out of the box without any complaints! :-)
LANG=de confusion
Running lyx-1.0.0 on Debian Linux (2.0). When i set LANG=de the tutorial documents are displayed in their German version, but the menu entries don't change at all. For a screenshot as illustration see "http://ntama.uni-mainz.de/~pseelig/lyxsshot.jpg". The binary i used "ftp://ntama.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian/unofficial/binary/lyx_1.0.0-0.1_i386.deb".

It turned out that a bug in my own Debian packaging was the culprit. It just didn't show up earlier because i virtually never use any program with any LANG setting defined other than the preset default standard we all use to communicate with each other. People interested in a fixed Debian binary can fetch an updated version "lyx_1.0.0-0.1_i386.deb" at the URL above. I'm sorry for the unnecessary confusion...

lyx_1.0.0pre6-0.1_i386.deb available
Well, the subject already says it all, so here is my christmas present for all interested parties: "ftp://ntama.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian/unofficial/" Don't complain if it doesn't work for you and better fix it. You'll find the debianized original sources in the same place. Merry xmas, P. *8^) -- - Paul Seelig [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- African Music Archive - Institute for Ethnology and Africa Studies Johannes Gutenberg-University - Forum 6 - 55099 Mainz/Germany --- http://www.uni-mainz.de/~pseelig -
