(an answer to http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx- de...@lists.lyx.org/msg169868.html, I only just subscribed and didn't know how else te react)
As I am already doing some packaging of lyx for opensuse and just started experimenting building trunk in the buildservice, I can look into a setup of a number of frequent builds. LyX is maintained in the Pubishing project (https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Publishing). I try to maintain there the latest stable release that will be part of the next version of openSUSE. It is not necessary to duplicate this. i can make one or two seperate (sub)projects in my home project (home:cornelisbb) or a subproject in Publishing (I don't think there is a general convention for this kind of stuff in OBS, have to ask). I have to investigate how to do this (still learning to use the buildservice), so it will take some time. Kind regards, Cor Blom
