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.

Hey folks, now I have notifications enabled, I missed the comment party yesterday. I adopted orphaned package yesterday. I see that this is a very popular package. Let's see the following

  1. According to repology, the latest version is 2.3.6.1 as we all agree here and obviously on its official page.

  2. Remember to vote, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Voting_for_packages, then we can talk later on AUR IRC channel or ask in the AUR-general mailing list or on the Mexican Arch Linux community that has a support staff and one TU as members, to discuss if the package can be moved back to [community].

  3. Post any issues after switching to 2.3.6.1. Any patch is welcome.

Edited Sunday April 3, 2022: Thanks for support voting, if we can get at least 30 votes, next Friday April 8 I can post a message on AUR-general asking for feedback like this example. Patience guys and everything will be fine.

Here is a link to the latest working PKGBUILD: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/c4aafffac6a072380f62509d60c16512cefa0ef3/lyx/repos/extra-x86_64/PKGBUILD

This is a very useful application. May be you could create a swap and keep this in the official repos and push other packages to AUR (gnome, plasma, systemd, wayland)

Why has this package been moved to AUR? If packages are moved this should be announced on the front page. And IMO LyX should stay in the official repositories. Plus, as others have mentioned, the current release is 2.3.6.1.

2.4 won't download. It is not even listed in the main website. Last stable version is 2.3.6!

@carlosal1015 maybe use simply this pkgbuild: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/9bb5039e55b429cf7caa6726f0e02868a9414510

bitwave commented on 2022-04-02 10:10 (UTC)

@Rhinoceros the svntogit-packages repo shows @arojas does the spring cleanup this year and removed 2.3.6.1. Why 2.4.0 appeared here is unclear.

Rhinoceros commented on 2022-04-02 03:54 (UTC)

If you check the git log it looks like this was moved to the AUR by @arojas, but was already migrated at 2.4.0. @carlosal1015 adopted the package, but hasn't done anything yet. I agree this PKGBUILD should be reverted to package the stable 2.3.6.1, like (almost) all the other Linux distributions.
