In general, there are several ways of finding the answer to this kind of question. First, look in Bodhi, our updates system, for pending updates. Check <https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/lyx>, and here we see that in fact lyx-2.1.2 is in updates-testing for F19 and F20. You can enable the updates-testing repo temporarily and install this package: yum install lyx --enablerepo=updates-testing to try it out. Or you can wait for it to get out of the testing phase. (And if you do try it, you can help others by adding a + or - comment to the update in Bodhi.) Second, if no update is pending, take a look in bugzilla for bugs like this one: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1060470> — maybe there's a reason. Third, you can check Koji, our build system: <http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2479>. Fedora's updates policy asks for maintainers to be cautious about putting big updates which change the UI or significantly alter functionality into stable releases, so it may be that the newer package is destined only for the next Fedora release. Finally, you can contact the package maintainers and see what their plans are. (Offers of help are often welcome if you are technically inclined and familiar with the package in question — even if you're not a packager, you can test.) You can find the maintainers in the package db web app, like <https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/lyx/>. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
