    Getting LyX 1.6.5 for Karmic

    I'm trying to figure out how to get the newest build for LyX properly (ie not from building it myself) for Karmic. I do
    Code:
    sudo apt-get upgrade lyx
    , but it doesn't pick up the 1.6.5 (although it looks like it is prepared to ship out with Lucid. Any ideas on how to get it to just work?

    It's these minor problems with Ubuntu being slow to upgrade to the newest builds of software (ie Firefox 3.6) that makes it a little bit frustrating. Maybe I should learn to program so I can help out more...

    The ppa is ppa:lyx/ppa. See launchpad.

    Be careful what you add to your package manager.
