The PKGBUILD for Lyx 2.0 prerelease is updated to Alpha 5. No significant changes except that I learnt a little more of bash scripting. The install script will now probe the user to install thesaurus, while also informing the user how to use OO.o thesaurus which are installed with standard OO.o installation from Arch [extra] repository. On another note, this new alpha brings significant stability changes to the previous release from the Lyx team. The tables are not acting weirdly any more.

I have updated the PKGBUILD for Lyx 2.0 pre-release to the new development release Alpha 4. Changes over Alpha 3 include updated thesaurus dependency, automated english language thesaurus setup and changed built type from release to prerelease for enabling additional warnings. Lyx 2 depends on MyThes for thesaurus, which is added as a dependency. The english thesaurus is only needed when Openoffice from Arch repos is not installed already, otherwise OO.o’s thesaurus can now be used in Lyx 2.0. So in next Alpha 5 release, I will remove this setup, and only include install instructions on setting up the thesaurus for using in Lyx.
