Hi everyone,
Here's the latest word on the official LyX RPM.
Mate and I took the discusion offline and worked out what the best
system would be.
We came up with the following:
The lyx.spec file generates two relocatable packages:
1) The lyx-{version}.rpm is the basic LyX software. This package simply
installs lyx and configures it for the local system.
2) The tetex-lyx-{version}.rpm is a duplication of the TeX macro
files that are included with LyX. It installs the macro files in
the location that the typical RedHat tetex install expects to see them.
This package also reconfigures LyX for the local system.
The packages are relocatable. By default, no TeX files are installed (the
normal tetex user can choose to install the second package, but this
is not required).
Anyways, what do you all think? I've attached the latest incarnation
of the spec file.
What we need at this point is:
1. We need volunteers who have access to RH 4.2 and RH 5.X systems who
can generate version-specific RPMs for their systems.
If any of you can do this thing, please Email me.
2. We need to know what the official channel is for getting these RPMs
onto the LyX web and ftp sites.
Thanks!

%description
LyX is a modern approach of writing documents with a computer
which breaks with the tradition of the obsolete typewriter
concept. It is designed for people who want a professional
output with a minimum of time and effort, without becoming specia-
lists in typesetting. Compared to common word processors LyX
will increase the productivity a lot, since most of the type-
setting will be done by the computer, not the author. With LyX
the author can concentrate on the contents of his writing,
since the computer will take care of the look.
