So I just built it from source in Dapper and Lyx works as > promised :) Pelle promised to upload 1.4.2 soon a few days ago, so I guess he had some other important things to do in the meantime that stopped this plan. Additional there has been a compromise of gluck.d.o with a following lock down of all other debian.org machines and some problems with ftp-master IIRC. Anyway all you've to do is to check out the stuff from the svn repo and build it on your own. The basic steps should be something like this: mkdir -p pkg-lyx/build-area mkdir pkg-lyx/tarballs cd pkg-lyx/tarballs wget ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.2.tar.gz mv lyx-1.4.2.tar.gz lyx_1.4.2.orig.tar.gz cd .. svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-lyx/lyx/trunk lyx-1.4.2 cd lyx-1.4.2 [modify what you need, most proberly changelog for your own version and maybe the frontend list in rules] svn-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot [or whatever you'd like to call dpkg-buildpackge with] HTH Sven And no I dont want to provide my own builds because the final Debian packages should arrive in a few days - so be patient and enjoy the sun :) -- If you won't forgive me the rest of my life Let me apologize while I'm still alive I know it's time to face all of my past mistakes [Less than Jake - Rest Of My Life]
