Not really, I think he is building from git not tarballs, I have in mind
the usual request "here is tarbal on ftp, please check that it works
on your system before I announce it in next days". Pavel

OK I will not announce tomorrow and will wait a couple of days for
testing.

I'll get the tar balls (and mac and win binaries) on the FTP and ask for
testing on lyx-devel by tonight. I could not do it earlier because I had
work. Even though it is just one command to upload, I am always nervous
using the FTP and like to double, triple, and quadruple check with
dry-run and I try to only upload when I know I will have time afterwards
so I can correct something in case it goes wrong.

Do you have in mind Liviu's repo? What else is there that we in any way
control?

I would say it is nice that you care about preparing binaries for mac & win
but you should also care about linux binaries, i.e. it would be wise to let
some time between announcing and having tarballs on ftp so you get feedback
from ppl on linux distros similarly as when we release stable...
