I think that you have it wrong. Doesn't lyx_1.3.4-2.diff.gz contain the changes that Debian made to the pristine LyX 1.3.4 sources to create the Debian LyX 1.3.4 package? Georg is suggesting that you grab ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.4.tar.bz2 (LyX 1.3.4 source) lyx_1.3.4-2.diff.gz (from Debian) ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.3.5.bz2 ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.3.6.bz2 and then build a Debian LyX 1.3.6 package by applying these patches in order to the unpacked lyx-1.3.4.tar.bz2 sources. At least, that's my understanding of what he is suggesting... -- Angus
