Bonjour,
This message concerns people who are using a Linux distribution based on
Debian (such as Ubuntu), and who used to keep their LyX version up to
date thanks to the official package archive.
Because the official archive is no longer updated, I have updated my own
package archive to provide up-to-date LyX 2.5 to my colleagues. The
package archive and the instructions to install the packages are
available here: <https://launchpad.net/~gadmm/+archive/ubuntu/lyx-unstable>.
The following Ubuntu releases are currently supported:
* 22.04 LTS
* 24.04 LTS
* 25.10
* 26.04 LTS
* 26.10
Other Debian-based distributions are also supported by selecting the
closest Ubuntu version.
These packages adjust the Qt "platform" and theme to better match the
Ubuntu and Gnome desktops. (The change is not merely cosmetic: this
should fix some bugs, as currently discussed on the bug tracker.)
Let me know how it goes for you if you use them.
Development versions of LyX 2.5 and 2.6 are also provided in addition to
the latest stable release (these packages are compiled in debug mode).
The packaging scripts are available publicly, so I am hoping that this
effort can also help restarting the updates to the official package archive.
Cheers,
Guillaume
