Hi, Apologies (in advance) if this has already been addressed previously...
I would like to build a port for FreeBSD around the CVS version of Lyx 1.3, to test the Qt frontend. I would also like to build a Gentoo Linux ebuild for the same. In fact, most Gentoo users live on the bleeding edge, and would probably be a good source of testing for Lyx 1.3 series before it gets shipped. However I don't want to dep on the CVS package for users who don't have or want it on their systems. It would be massively convenient if my ebuild could grab a nightly CVS snapshot from your site for these users to test. For your end of this, I think it would take out the load on your CVS server for people who just want to test and don't do checkins, thus also making testing a little easier for most people. All you need to do is get some script to package up a nightly CVS checkout and link it in somewhere. FYI, most of the users on the Gentoo side are gcc 3.2.x and glibc 2.3.x, and are rapidly flying over to the qt 3.1/kde 3.1 releases. Most FreeBSD users are on gcc 2.95.xx and bsd libc, except for those who have been testing FreeBSD 5.0. Roughly estimated, FreeBSD users are more conservative, most will still be on FreeBSD 4.7/qt 3.05/kde 3.05 on the day that kde 3.1 gets officially released. Please CC: me as I am not subscribed to the list. TIA, -- Dylan Carlson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
