Recent versions of the cygwin X11 server come with a startup script
that explicitly uses '-nolisten tcp' for improved security. This means
that mentioning a host part in the DISPLAY variable precludes correct
operation. So, leave blank the host part such that only local connections
are attempted. Even if a user can override this setting in the own
~/.lyxprofile, novice users (and even experienced ones, at first) would be
probably confused by the "Error: Can't open display: localhost:0" message
and thus it is better to make this work out of the box.
The former solution with installing all babel packages at once via a list fails if only a single package of the list is already installed. In this case none of the packages in the installation list will be installed. Therefore every package will be installed separately.
(The bug is already reported to MiKTeX and this workaround can be removed for LyX 2.1.4.))
- Packages.txt: add all available babel packages and update to latest list of packages supported by LyX
- chkconfig.ltx: remove an entry that was added only for the Win-installer
Forthcoming versions of cygwin will use a different mechanism for
obtaining passwd/group information based on /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Thus, it will not be guaranteed that the files /etc/passwd and
/etc/group even exist. The recommended way for obtaining those
info is by using the getent command, which already works in
current versions.
- known problem: if LyX 2.0.x is installed and you install 2.1rc1, the .lyx file associations will not be updated but if LyX 2.1 is installed on a new PC the file associations work (work is in progress)
Define new policy of what export formats to check.
Depending on default_output_format
default or unset xhtml, dvi*, pdf*
xhtml xhtml
any of pfd variants xhtml, pdf*
any of dvi variants xhtml, dvi*
each other (like eps3) as specified
- it turned out that the hack to install a stripped-down Perl directly to MiKTEX is not only error-prone, requires admin permission but that it is also not safe because MiKTeX changes the folder structure from time to time. With the new solution Perl is installed directly for LyX like we do for ImageMagick, Python etc.
- for pdfcrop support there is a bug in pdfcriop that the requirement is hardcoded to Ghostscript 32bit - I contacted the pdfcrop author to fix this
This test was broken after wrap-around search was implemented. From
what I understand, the point of the test is that search should _not_
match in this case because "ignore format" is checked by default.
Thus, a new way of testing that there was no match is to check whether
the wrap around message shows up, because the cursor is initially at
the beginning so that would mean that the entire buffer was checked.
I confirmed that the test now works by checking that it passes and
checking that it fails if "ignore format" is unchecked. Although this
test is still fragile, it is fragile in a conservative way (i.e. it
will give false failures rather than false passes). It will fail if
the Italian translation changes, if "ignore format" is unchecked by
default, or if the wrap-around mechanism changes (e.g. does not ask if
the cursor started at the beginning of the buffer).
