I’m surprised you could post there, I thought it was configured read-only.

Well, I already donate a huge amount of time updating and improving T2 nearly 
each and every day.
Even at non existing holiday and weekends:

        http://svn.exactcode.de/ChangeLog-t2

It would really be awesome if folks could do some where and send a patch once 
in a while.
Or at least watch my YouTube videos for some ads revenue:

or use the donate button to fund this efforts: http://t2sde.org/download/

Updates are actually quite easy, you can check for them:

        source/UpdateList lyx

That will likely give you something like:
…
[MATCH] (2.0.8) [+]
-----------------------
XXX lyx-2.0.8.1

Then you can automatically patch the t2 package source if you do not want to 
hand edit it:

        scripts/Update-Pkg lyx-2.0.8.1

and send send a patch after test building it:

        svn di package/editors/lyx/

This is really not too hard, isn't it?

Now I would commit this update myself, if it would not require qt4, which my 
last test build failed to build:

** qt 4 library not found !

Now qt4 failed because it could not build mysql support (what?, sigh!) and 
mysql failed due to:

…ha_sphinx.cc:17:10: fatal error: mysql_priv.h: No such file or directory

???

Well, whatever, maybe interested folks get an better idea how much work it is 
to maintain thousands of packages updated and keep them compiling ;-)

Happy new year, and oh, did I mention my new YT channel and the donate button? 
;-)

And while we are at it: there a pretty like and subscribe buttons, too ;-)
