>Description:
Per the pkg-descr file contained in the print/lyx15 port:  "LyX-1.5 can not become the default "lyx", because it requires Qt4, which is yet to enter the maintstream on FreeBSD."

I would venture to say that Qt4 has now reached mainstream status.  I therefore request that the print/lyx port henceforth refer to the Lyx 1.5 port (currently 1.5.6), and the old version be renamed to print/lyx14, for those who don't want to upgrade (to the new Lyx, Qt4, or both).

>How-To-Repeat:
See pkg-descr file contained in print/lyx15
>Fix:
Renaming of print/lyx to print/lyx14, and print/lyx15 to print/lyx
