Jean, please also test the proposed package in trusty because you know better where things could go wrong. Thanks.

Upstream developers do provide maintenance releases for lyx as 2.0.x. Announcement of 2.0.8.1 http://www.lyx.org/announce/2_0_8_1.txt: We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.0.8.1. This release differs from the 2.0.8 release only by incorporating some improvements to the lyx2lyx conversion and reversion scripts. There are no changes to the main code. LyX 2.0.8 was the eighth and final maintenance release in the 2.0.x series, the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version even more reliable and stable. We fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements since 2.0.7. The main "feature" of LyX 2.0.8 is the ability to read and write LyX files in the 2.1.x format. Users who do not wish to upgrade to 2.1.0, which is being released simultaneously, are encouraged to upgrade to 2.0.8. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement of 2.0.7 http://www.lyx.org/announce/2_0_7.txt: LyX 2.0.7 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. The most important bug was #8854, which could lead to file corruption in certain cases and, more often, would lead to errors in generated files (e.g., PDFs). We encourage all LyX users to upgrade to this version. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Impact] * Fixes several bugs in the 2.0.x series. * Fixes a very nasty data loss bug fixed in 2.0.7. * Provide the ability to read LyX 2.1.x files (LyX 2.1.3 is shipped with vivid right now). [Test Case] * There isn't a specific test case since this is a micro-release update. * Update to 2.0.8.1 and use us usual to make sure there are no regressions. [Regression Potential] * Minimal, as upstream developers take care not to break anything in maintenance releases. [Other Info] * Upstream developers watch ubuntu bugs and they want this to be updated in trusty.
