Updated LyX Packages for Maverick Meercat

[Rob Oakes]

Hi Ahmed,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  It is really appreciated.  I will look over the link that you'e sent and start filing the appropriate bugs.  First thing in the morning (I live in the United States), I will also upload new packages and test them against the current version of Maverick.

<< Btw, Maverick ships Qt 4.7 beta2, are there compatibility issues with that too ? >>

Yes, unfortunately.

Version 1.6.5 shipped with a number of bugs and problems that necessitated not one, but two additional minor releases in order to resolve them fully.  As far as I know, no additional issues have been reported.

When building 1.6.7 against Qt 4.7 beta 2 on Mac OS X and Windows, I have not been aware of problems.  Unfortunately, On my main rig I run 10.04 and 4.7 B1, and have not experienced any Qt related complications.

Cheers,

Rob
