[Pkg-lyx-devel] debian/NEWS

[Per Olofsson]

debian/NEWS currently contains:

  * Since version 1.4.2, LyX no longer creates a global configuration file
    with the '/usr/share/lyx/configure' script. Hence the update-lyxrc script
    no longer provides the "--system" switch to update the global lyxrc file.
    If you have a ~/.lyx directory you can still use "update-lyxrc --user",
    run "cd ~/.lyx && /usr/share/lyx/configure.py" by hand or use
    Tools->Reconfigure from LyX's menu.
    A global configuration will be read from '/usr/share/lyx/lyxrc.defaults'
    (provided by the LyX developers) and from '/usr/share/lyx/lyxrc.dist'
    (distribution specific). In the Debian package '/usr/share/lyx/lyxrc.dist'
    is a symlink to '/etc/lyxrc'.

This is a rather long message. Is it really necessary? Did people use
update-lyxrc before this version? Didn't they just use
Tools->Reconfigure? If only few people ran update-lyxrc as root then I
think we might as well drop this message.
