well, we could really use a couple people who could test the OSX
version on a more regular basis.
Well, I'm running 2.1.0 dev (with good stability) on both OS X 10.9
and Linux on a Chromebook (thanks to Crouton). Tell me what to do to
help.
It has been suggested that someone produce a homebrew recipe that would
allow more
"ordinary users" to compile and test the most recent versions, or even
develop some
system that would produce nightly, or perhaps weekly, builds. It would
be best if this
could be done for both trunk (2.1.dev) and branch (2.0.8dev, as things
stand). Those
of us on Linux can do this fairly easily, of course, but it's harder for
people on OSX
(or, God forbid, Windows). I confess that the one time I tried to
compile LyX on OSX
I failed and gave up.
