To do so, grab the tar ball from the lyx ftp site

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.5.tar.bz2

Unpack it:

$ bunzip2 lyx-1.3.5.tar.bz2
$ tar cvf lyx-1.3.5.tar

Configure the build:

$ cd lyx-1.3.5
$ ./configure

Build it:

$ make rpmdist

When you've finished, rename the rpm as something recognizable as 
Connectiva Linux and shove it into ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/incoming.

Then post a message to this list.
