Arch Linux User Repository

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.

Wow, I had no idea this made it to AUR. A sad moment :-(

Since bc not belongs to base-devel, and other linux distributions label bc as build dependency, we could add it as makedependency. Thanks for try in a clean chroot like aurutils or devtools.

• https://packages.aosc.io/packages/lyx
• https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/source/lyx
• https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/lyx/blob/rawhide/f/lyx.spec

We will wait for other comments during the day.

Side note: Yesterday Thursday April 7, I asked on the #archlinux-aur irc channel via libera.chat: Hello, I would like to know what is the right communication channel to ask if two AUR popular packages can be promoted to the community repository. Thanks.

In order to ask for promoting lyx or stellarium to the community, and the answer was that both were dropped from community because it did not have any maintainers, we will wait/hope if an existing maintainer is interested or a new one would like to adopt in the future.

I noticed a weird message during compilation, but the build seems to have succeeded anyway:

 GEN      ui_WrapUi.h
/bin/sh: line 1: bc: command not found
  GEN      moc_Action.cpp
/bin/sh: line 1: bc: command not found
  GEN      moc_BulletsModule.cpp
/bin/sh: line 1: bc: command not found
  GEN      moc_CategorizedCombo.cpp
/bin/sh: line 1: bc: command not found
  GEN      moc_CustomizedWidgets.cpp
/bin/sh: line 1: bc: command not found
  GEN      moc_DialogView.cpp

Should bc be a dependency of lyx? If the builds succeeds without it, is it actually needed? The reason I noticed this that I use aurutils to build in a minimal chroot, thus bc is not installed in there.

carlosal1015 Thank you for the fix!

All I needed to do was delete the path with the faulty package in ~/.cache/paru/clone and after that, rebuilding 2.3.6.1 went with no issues. I didn't need to install the key. (Arcolinux Gnome)

GPG issue here:

Compilation successfully for lyx-2.3.6.1-4, only few warnings:

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)
