At this point in time? Do it if you are up to it, and it can even be 0-day if you're sure you did it right. >From memory, lyx is a major mess that FTBFS with gcc4 in very horripilant ways, uses yada, and is otherwise NMU-unfriendly IMHO. But it has been some time since I tried to build it. It is also outdated (1.3.6 is available upstream since July, 16th). Maybe the new upstream version has better code and will compile cleanly with gcc 4. IMHO lyx really needs new extra blood maintaining it, and maybe even to be repackaged from scratch. Sorry, I do not have enough time to tack such a major cleanup in such a complex application right now, or I'd be offering myself (I like lyx a lot and use it for my texts as much as I can). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
