Hi list
    This was a private discsussion about sponsoring of ngspice but the problem 
of texlive dependencies may be of interest to the list.

    I have changed the dependency to texlive, texlive-latex-extra, texlive-
lang-greek which seems to work nicely but finding the minimal dependency when 
doing
lyx --export ps manual.lyx
lyx --export html manual.lyx
was quite tricky since I couldn't run lyx in X mode when running it in 
pbuilder and I couldn't find out how to make lyx create a log file while in 
batch mode. Does anyone have a nice solution to that?
