[sorry for sending incomplete message earlier]
We requested recently that LyX be updated to 2.1.5 in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
since this branch is stuck with LyX 2.1 anyway. Version 18.04 LTS has
already been updated to 2.2.4 recently.
However the first answer for 16.04 is negative, and I cannot say that I
disagree completely...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/1595358/comments/20
Issues mentioned:
* big lyx2lyx update: what testing can we show to make sure that we dio
not break anything?
* big boost update: at the time it looked like a good idea, but was it?
* lack of comprehensive tests. We have a few unit tests, and also tests
for export, tex2lyx. Do we have real lyx2lyx tests? What do we test
actually?
* basically, cherry-picking a few fixes would be more effective.
I let you read, tell me what you think, beyond the "2.1.5 on ubuntu
16.04" issue.
