Recently, after using Linux more than 25 years, mostly rolling/unstable
distros/releases, I decided to settle on Debian stable (bookworm) and
now I'm often enjoy "All packages are up to date." :-)
However, Lyx's 2.4.0 release is exceptional and I wonder if there is
some repository with 2.4.0 backported to Bookworm?
I have a need to bump soe packages and/or re-build them using
different configuration options, but not sure how much work would be
required to backport Lyx....
I would be surprised if you could not compile LyX on that system. LyX
does not have exceptional dependencies. You'd need to install some
development packages, but that's about it.
In my opinion Richard is right. You can compile it on your own an it will
probably work.
As 2.4 is part of testing, you might also download the deb-package and try to
install it (dpkg -i lyx-2.4.0*.deb). You'll get the information, what
dependendcies are unsatisfied.
You can add testing to the source.list and try with preferences and pinning to
install just those debs, that are needed for 2.4.
My experience shows, however, that sooner or later this will lead to new
problems. Therefore, I think compiling on your own is the better solution.
