And how many full-time people do you have to provide these 15 versions
for linux?

Took me about two weeks full-time to set up all the virtual machines (i.e.
install OS, install required development packages, work around installation
quirks etc.) Now a full recompile of our stuff is a bit more than an hour per
platform, and about double that time when I rebuild Qt as well (which is not really needed dayly as I don't build Qt snapshot, only real releases).
Starting such a build is typing 'make nightly' on a certain console, i.e.
including login less than 20 seconds of my own time.

And could you do that for LyX? That would be very nice...

Abdel.
