[gentoo-dev] LyX ebuild(s); maintenance issues for my ebuilds

Hi all,

Here are the LyX ebuilds. There's a (main) lyx-base ebuild which actually 
installs LyX and depends on x11, xforms and tetex only (see previous post on 
this matter). There's also a lyx-utils ebuild which does nothing but depends 
on lyx-base and all the utils LyX can make use of (at least all those for 
which ebuilds exist).
These should go into app-office/lyx-bsae and app-office/lyx-utils. Note that 
some people say they should go into app-text not app-office since lyx is 
rather a latex frontend and a typesetter than a real word processor. I don't 
have an opinion here - it's your decision.


Maintenance:
This makes 4 ebuilds which I have posted in the last few days to gentoo-dev 
(heroes, Xaw3d, gv, lyx (base+utils)).

Now, I don't know the 'regulations' for getting access to the gentoo cvs for 
maintaining you ebuilds or adding new ones, but I think that either I should 
be given such access, or some other Gentoo developer should 'adopt' these 
ebuilds. While these specific programs aren't often updated, I give fair 
warning that I shall write an ebuild for every program that I use (and there 
are many) and post it here, unless you give me cvs access :-) If you prefer 
dealing with a large amount of ebuilds and ebuild updates on the mailing 
list, I'll understand (sort of). And, I might also write documentation / 
advocacy at some point. (I've added Gentoo to the list of Unix systems / 
Linux distros that run KDE at promo.kde.org). So what do you say?

As suggested, I'm goig to split this into several more ebuilds: lyx-base, 
lyx-viewers, lyx-input, lyx-output, lyx-misc and lyx which will depend on all 
the others. (This isn't the final layout, just an approximation).

I like to do things thoroughly, so I'll go over the list of all utils LyX can 
possibly make use of and write ebuilds for those that don't have any.
