Thanks for the trust you put in me, but I do not nearly know enough about building software, configuration and ubuntu to feel comfortable with this role. I do not think that a ppa can be considered an "extremistic" solution, as it would allow to provide all the releases for older ubuntu versions - which in itself is very useful. Obviously, it is not a solution to ubuntu bundling old / unsuitable releases of LyX with their releases. For this an "inside person" would be very useful. Rainer > pavel > -- Rainer M.
