Well, there are two ports, print/lyx which is maintained by mi@aldan.algebra.com, and print/lyx15 which has no maintainer. There are also several PRs for lyx, including one to add a lyx16 port: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?&text=lyx These PRs are owned by mi@, who I'm guessing is the same as mi@aldan.algebra.com? In any case, it looks like the field is wide open for you to take action here ajtiM! Take a look at the PR for lyx16 as a starting point, then take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html to get an idea of how you might update it. Then send the update as a followup to the lyx16 PR. Hopefully someone will actually take some action on it at some point soon. :) Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/
