You could compile it yourself.
./configure --with-version-suffix=-svn --enable-build-type=release
make
make install

Such an arrangement would not interfere with your (presumably)
existing stable version of LyX. Among others, it would use ~/.lyx-svn
for its user config.

RE: [correction] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.0 -- similar for 1.6.8

2010-12-21 Thread Mark.Bravington 
Hi Manveru

I don't think using a slow CTAN mirror was really the issue. If I compare the 
Miktex installation on the machine where I LyxWinInstalled, vs on my other 
machine where I standard-Lyx-installed, there are now thousands of extra 
directories created on the former (eg 1000 new directories in tex\latex). 
Because of their creation dates, I'm pretty sure LyxWinInstall is responsible. 
It seems to have asked Miktex to do a complete install of every conceivable 
package. However, I know Lyx can run fine with a much smaller set, and that's 
what I'm really asking about / suggesting here. I reckon my questions below 
still apply.

(In fact, despite my optimism in yesterday's email, the Miktex mega-update did 
in fact crash partway thru its 5-hour marathon. I haven't noticed a problem 
yet, but that's probably because the un-updated packages are fine anyway...)

Defaulting to a CTAN mirror in Germany is a minor aspect, I think-- though it 
might be preferable to not have a default, and force the user to choose. I 
freely admit to knowing very little about Miktex or Tex generally (which is one 
reason why I think Lyx is so wonderful-- I don't have to learn that stuff!).

 2010/12/20 Mark Bravington mark.braving...@csiro.au:
  I'm just going through a similar painful process with Lyx 1.6.8 and
  LyxWinInstaller. I certainly appreciate the efforts of the LyxWinInstaller
  developers, but I do think there is a big problem with the current 
  version-- and
  it doesn't warn you properly.
 
  My story is this. I have existing Lyx 1.6.7 and Miktex installations that 
  work
  absolutely fine together. I want to upgrade Lyx to 1.6.8. Because I was 
  worried
  that the standard LyX installer might decide to re-install Miktex from 
  scratch
  or something like that (I can't remember whether it actually does, but I 
  didn't
  want to find out the hard way), I tried WinInstaller instead-- I thought it
  would be quicker. Because I hadn't used it before, I chose the Small 
  variant.
  The WinInstaller webpage seems to say it won't try to re-install Miktex if 
  it
  doesn't have to, but WinInstaller still decided it needed to update 100s of
  Miktex packages. From Germany!
 
  (I live in Australia. I have no idea where I last installed Miktex packages
  from, so I trusted the box that said use same place as last time 
  (Germany)?...
  which it clearly)
 
  It's going to take about 5 hours, and there are scary warnings on this 
  thread
  about what will happen if I just stop the process. This time, I'll probably 
  be
  lucky: work pays for the download, it's morning so I don't need to turn the
  computer off overnight, and the connection probably won't go down over the
  5-hour period. None of these need be true if I am at home (so I guess I will
  avoid WinInstaller altogether on my home machine). For something this slow, 
  I
  don't think just wait until it finishes is OK advice.
 
  From what little I can remember of the last time I installed a new Lyx 
  version
  with the standard installer, the whole process was much quicker, whether or 
  not
  it actually did re-install Miktex. (It was still slow enough that I wanted 
  an
  alternative that didn't fiddle with Miktex, but not this one...)
 
  So... some questions/requests!
 
  Is this extremely slow process going to happen again if I use WinInstaller 
  in
  update mode next time?

[Might be a bit faster if I chose a better mirror site, but not much I suspect]

 
  Is there any way to tell WinInstaller, don't bother to update every single
  miktex package ever written-- I'll wait for that to happen during normal Lyx
  usage, if  when a package is actually needed? [Since I already had a 
  perfectly
  good Miktex installation for my Lyx needs.]

[I'd still like to know...]

 
  Can the introductory documentation please warn that just saying yes is 
  going
  to lead to an incredible delay? [Maybe it's there already, but it wasn't 
  obvious
  to me.]

[Still applies I think...]

 
  Again, I do appreciate the efforts, and probably there is something simple 
  that
  the developers can do to fix it -- but I am currently wishing I hadn't used
  WinInstaller!
 
 But slow MikTeX update is not a WinInstaller fault, rather yours. You
 do not switch MikTeX to CTAN mirror near you. It is always safe to do
 that on every MikTeX update. This is a process implements by MikTeX
 author, not any of LyX authors.

Hi Julien,

I'm having a similar problem and I've tried the layout file you posted below,
but with no success. I put it on LyX-1.6/layouts and ran Reconfigure but I got
the error message:

The system reconfiguration has failed. Default textclass is used but LyX may

Reconfigure works fine when I remove the offending revtex4-1.layout file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
