Hm you can even go the clean way quite easily at least if you run the edgy thing. a) Get the diff from the 1.4.2 ubuntu package and apply it to the 1.4.3 source b) Get the current patches from http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-lyx/lyx/trunk/debian/patches/?rev=0&sc=0 c) Edit the changelog and build as usual with dpkg-buildpackage, debuild or whatever you normaly use For the dapper thing you can use my 1.4.2 diff from here ftp://hxt.homelinux.org/foobuntu/lyx_1.4.2-4%7edapper1.diff.gz and go on with b) and c) as outlined above. So not that complicated at all. Still no one willing to prepare regular builds for the *buntus to feed the hungry masses?
