feel free to remove it.


I wouldn't remove it without discussion. I just wanted to share my thoughts.


I'm ambivalent. I looked at the page, and it's not exactly crystal clear 
and would look nicer in a table, but the text above does (now?) explain 
that upgrade services can sometimes provide later versions.


So I'd be fine with leaving it in or removing it. Any other opinions?

As for converting whatever java script that's used into generating a table 
or something is beyond me.

Maybe that conversion is not rocket science...

I have to say that I find the information rather irritating than helpful, 
since the page seems to list only the version shipped with the vanilla distro. 
For instance, it lists 1.6.0 for openSuse, but openSuse actually provides 
1.6.3 (via upgrade service).

 Hi,

 The site Open Source Watershed tracks which version of a software that is
 available in a specific version of a distribution. There's a page for LyX,
 perhaps useful for us to know about:

       http://oswatershed.org/pkg/lyx

 there is a snippet of html code which could be even put into download page
 which would add one nice line of current lyx version inside different linux
 distros. unfortunately i'm not sure its possible to inject such html code
 into the wiki page... ?

It's quite easy, I've done it.

See this page for an example of how it can be used.

   http://www.lyx.org/Test.OSWatersched

I leave it to you to use the markup (:oswatersched lyx:) in some
suitable way on the download page. To me it seems it a little bit
wide, and I'm not sure how easy it is to understand what the icons
mean.

The general principle I use for embedding custom HTML is to create a
custom wiki directive, which invokes a PHP function. That function can
then inject whatever HTML we like. If you want to look at the
.php-code, it's in www-user/farm/cookbook/LyX/oswatersched_LyX.php

they are the logos of distros and most of them are easy to grasp for
anyone floating around linux world imho.
