[Bug 1602145] Re: [needs-packaging] LyX version 2.2.x should go into LTS (maybe backported?)
I did some reading on Ubuntu policies, and found couple more things to consider: - Backporting LyX 2.3.1 requires that 2.3.1 is in the Ubuntu archives, i.e. Ubuntu 18.10. - Ubuntu 18.10 will be released in about one month, and it is already past feature freeze as well as user interface freeze, so LyX would require a freeze exception. Based on reading wiki pages, I think the backporting effort requires this: 1. Lyx 2.3.1 is released. 2. Ask Debian maintainer of lyx, Dr. Tobias Quathamer, to package 2.3.1 and upload it to Debian. 3. Request a sync of 2.3.1 from Debian to Ubuntu 18.10. 4. Request a backport of 2.3.1 from Ubuntu 18.10 to 18.04. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseSchedule https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602145 Title: [needs-packaging] LyX version 2.2.x should go into LTS (maybe backported?)

1/ thanks for 2.1.5. I tested it and answered in the bug itself. 2/ yes, a 2.2.4 debdiff would be appreciated. 3/ backporting would indeed be a very good idea. The best is to wait until LyX 2.3.1, which should be made available in a few days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602145 Title: [needs-packaging] LyX version 2.2.x should go into LTS (maybe backported?)

1/ To get LyX 2.1.5 in 16.04, I sent a message to #1595358 with the debdiff. The package requires thorough testing but I'm not familiar with lyx. Jean-Marc, could you please install lyx from https://launchpad.net/~jsonic/+archive/ubuntu/ppa in a Ubuntu 16.04 system and check if all the functionality works? 2/ To upgrade 18.04 to 2.2.4 as a stable release update, we'd need another debdiff, which I can try to provide as well. 4/ You can request a backport of LyX 2.3.0 to Ubuntu 18.04, using the requestbackport tool. Details of the procedure: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports. Note that a 'backport' is different to a 'stable release update'. A backport is only installed when the user specifically requests so, while SRU gets pushed to all users of that Ubuntu version who have lyx installed. As I understand it, upgrading the version from 2.2.3 to 2.3.0 is not allowed in a SRU because only micro-version updates are ok, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602145 Title: [needs-packaging] LyX version 2.2.x should go into LTS (maybe backported?)

[Bug 1602145] Re: [needs-packaging] LyX version 2.2.x should go into LTS (maybe backported?)
I do not know much about Ubuntu policies, but I can add my grain of salt as a LyX developer. 1/ it would be very important to get at least LyX 2.1.5 in 16.04LTS, since the last stable version is updated to be able to read file from the next series. 2/ similarly 18.04 should at least upgrade to 2.2.4. 4/ Although we missed the train for 18.04 release, it would be very nice to update 18.04 to LyX 2.3.1, especially since the LTS is here to stay and 2.3 will be the current format for the next two years (by experience). I understand this comment is vaguely off topic, but I do not really know who is "in charge" of this package and how we should proceed. Note that neither 2.1.5 nor 2.2.4 are packaged in Debian. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602145 Title: [needs-packaging] LyX version 2.2.x should go into LTS (maybe backported?)

[Bug 1602145] Re: [needs-packaging] LyX version 2.2.x should go into LTS (maybe backported?)
Currently there is LyX 2.2.3-5 in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic). There is discussion in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/1595358 about getting 2.1.5 into 16.04 LTS (Xenial) and they claim 2.1.5 can read and write the file format of 2.2.x. If you have concerns about 2.1.5 not being enough, please leave a comment in that bug. So perhaps this bug can be closed? ** Changed in: lyx (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602145 Title: [needs-packaging] LyX version 2.2.x should go into LTS (maybe backported?)
