Now that the server has been moved successfully, we can turn our

otherwise is to freeze strings Tuesday and send email to the

Since I am able to build on Win10, I'd be happy to test there. Just
let me know what git command to use in order get the right version.
The source we release will be the then-current state of 2.3.x, with
minor changes (such as the version displayed in About LyX.) So if you're
currently using 2.3.x, then you are testing what will be 2.3.2. If
you're not doing that but could, it would be extremely helpful.
I'm still meaning to try to release "weeklies" or something of the sort
for Windows, so people can more easily use 2.3.x and help us test it. Am
I right that we could basically just release the binaries and people
could replace their current 2.3.1 binary (say) with the new one? It
seems like a hassle to have to go through the whole installation process
again if one is going to be doing this regularly.

I'd rather create a 2.3.x binary and place it in my current LyX 2.3
directory than run git on 2.3.x. Changing between master and 2.3.x is
kind of a hassle because it needs a complete rebuild.
If disk space is not an issue, you can have multiple directories all
containing git checkouts. I have:
lyx-devel
lyx-pristine
lyx-stable
The pristine one is what I install from locally. I use devel and stable
for coding.
Perfect. Now I have everything running side by side.
Speaking of which: Have you tried to create a LyX 'package' from your
builds? There is a "make package" command available under cmake, but I
don't know if it works on Windows. I've got no idea, really, how Uwe did
this.
No I haven't tried this. Should I? What is a 'package' for?
