I did some reading on Ubuntu policies, and found couple more things to consider:
- Backporting LyX 2.3.1 requires that 2.3.1 is in the Ubuntu archives, i.e. Ubuntu 18.10. - Ubuntu 18.10 will be released in about one month, and it is already past feature freeze as well as user interface freeze, so LyX would require a freeze exception. Based on reading wiki pages, I think the backporting effort requires this: 1. Lyx 2.3.1 is released. 2. Ask Debian maintainer of lyx, Dr. Tobias Quathamer, to package 2.3.1 and upload it to Debian. 3. Request a sync of 2.3.1 from Debian to Ubuntu 18.10. 4. Request a backport of 2.3.1 from Ubuntu 18.10 to 18.04. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseSchedule https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602145 Title: [needs-packaging] LyX version 2.2.x should go into LTS (maybe backported?)
