[Pkg-lyx-devel] LyX 1.6.10 for Debian Stable

[Martin Brüning]

Dear maintainers,

I was wondering why there is no deb package of the LyX Version 1.6.10 
for the stable Distribution. It is my impression that usere would 
appreciate it If there was one. Many users prefere using the prooven 
rock solid 1.6.x version instead of the 2.x version. Even an unofficial 
build would be helpful. I am not an experienced user and I failed 
compiling the source. I tried "./configure" and then "make" but I was 
unable to understand the error messages. So a binary package would be 
very helpful for me. As I found out there are many repositories offering 
more up to date lyx packages for many distribution:

http://pkgs.org/package/lyx

http://www.getdeb.net/software/LyX

So I conclude the need is there and Debian should not stand behind :-) I 
would donate 25€ to the debian project if there was a LyX 1.6.10 package 
for stable.
