Important note: Is recommended to receive the following key before to install:

$ gpg --recv-keys DE7A44FAC7FB382D

Also is possible skip the verification, adding the flag for (e.g makepkg, yay) --skippgpcheck, --nopgpfetch, respectively.

I can confirm that @Rhinoceros PKGBUILD fixes the problem. The maintainer @carlosal1015 should just change the pkgbuild

ajdunlap commented on 2024-06-01 15:41 (UTC)

The package installs org.lyx.LyX.metainfo.xml in /usr/share/metainfo by default, so do we need any manual installation of it at all?

Looks like appdata.xml got moved to org.lyx.LyX.metainfo.xml:

https://git.lyx.org/gitweb/?p=lyx.git;a=commitdiff;h=837791c5ef4daab5b3244c4afbd9adf0dbbfb5a2

I have the same problem, should we move it manually?

Thanks @petris. Build also fails for me. I can confirm that the following change to the PKGBUILD fixes it

2.4.0-1 fails to build:

  install: cannot stat 'lib/appdata.xml': No such file or directory

Looks like appdata.xml got moved to org.lyx.LyX.metainfo.xml:

BTW, currently default servers not working, however the mirrors do, for example https://mirrors.ibiblio.org is working fine...

Thanks for the clarification, and many thanks for maintaining the lyx package. Have a nice day!

Our default server, which is located in France, may sometimes be slow or unavailable. If so, you might prefer to use one of the mirrors listed below. Usually, choosing one close to you is a good idea. Source code will be found in the stable/ directory, and binaries in the bin/ directory.

Both ftp://ftp.lyx.org/ and https://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/ point to the same primary server, but unless you actively check the signatures of downloaded files, we recommend that you use the https protocol.

rellieberman commented on 2024-05-19 10:34 (UTC)

Why is the source downloaded from https://ftp.lip6.fr and not from the official lyx domain?

rellieberman commented on 2024-02-07 09:30 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for maintaining this package. Do you have any insight as to why the package refers to $srcdir:

==> WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir usr/bin/lyxclient usr/bin/lyx usr/bin/tex2lyx

Thanks
