Hello Could someone please add a packages.gz file to ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/ubuntu
This would make a LyX installation a lot easier for a many Ubuntu users via gnome-app-install with the 'add/remove' menu or with synaptic. You may know that a lot of Ubuntu users are novice GNU/Linux users. (Why use a flintstone (dpkg) when you can have a lighter (gnome-app-install) ;) For this it might also be a good idea to have a note in the README file how to add the repository to /etc/apt/sources.list or IMO better a template lyx.sources file for use in dapper drake's /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory. It also might be a good idea to have a (breezy/dapper) deb tree too ;-) For a dapper and breezy deb tree: (for a packages.gz only replace 'dapper main' by ./) ---8<--- README.Ubuntu1.4.1 ---8<--- ++ please add a new line to your sources.list file or copy the lyx.sources ++ file to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory to install LyX via ++ gnome-app-install or synaptic. ++ ++ for ubuntu 6.6 dapper drake ++ Start 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and add ++ deb ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/ubuntu dapper main ++ ++ for breezy badger add ++ deb ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/ubuntu breezy main ---8<--- ---8<--- ---8<--- ---8<--- /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lyx.sources ---8<--- # LyX, the WYSIWYG document processor deb ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/ubuntu breezy main # LyX ---8<--- ---8<--- ---8<--- regards, wolfgang
