So the first question is: Which binaries do we want to have in ppas? and How should they be separated into different ppas? We have the following categories: - releases --- alpha --- beta --- final (stable) - daily builds --- trunk (highly unstable / experimental) --- BRANCH_2_0_X (unstable but usable) --- BRANCH_1_6_X (no further maintenance releases? so we might not need this one any more) I think it would be useful to have a daily lyx-daily lyx-beta lyx-stable which can be used for BRANCH_2_0_X and new ones, and we could upload into stable the latest 1.6 release as well (compiled with version suffix). In addition, one package simply called lyx, always containing the newest release, without version suffix. This would ot clash with the ubuntu, but update it. But we could have an additional lyx-daily-trunk which will have the daily builds of trunk In this way it would be clear that these are experimental daily builds and even more unstable then lyx-daily. Would that make sense? > JMarc > -- Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation Ecology, SUN), MSc (Conservation Biology, UCT), Dipl. Phys.
