[Bug 242648] Re: backport lyx 1.5.5 to hardy

[Cyrus Jones]

Actually, this should be specifically a request for 1.5.5-1, as that is
the latest Debian/Ubuntu package. Ubuntu Intrepid never had the source
package LyX 1.5.5 in the first place (LyX 1.5.5-1 was auto-synced from
Debian unstable).

Normally, since LyX 1.5.5 is a bugfix, this would not be eligible for
backporting. However, please note that the bug only occurs when hardy-
backports is enabled, therefore the fix should appear in hardy-backports
as well. There is need to fix a bug when hardy-backports is not enabled
as no bug would exist.

The LyX 1.5.5-1 source package is included in Ubuntu Intrepid, but the
build fails for all architectures. To get this bug fixed in Ubuntu, the
build of LyX in Intrepid should be fixed first (currently it fails to
build because of a problem with boost), then LyX 1.5.5-1 can be
backported to hardy.

However, I was successful when creating a package using Prevu. No source
changes were necessary. As a result, this backport request is marked as
confirmed.  I have been using the Prevu-built package without problems
for over a month now.

** Summary changed:

- backport lyx 1.5.5 to hardy
