I'm almost done with the documentation part, I have edited all Additional.lyx 
files and moved AGUTeX.lyx in templates/obsolete. I see that I should have put 
an original version of Additional.lyx in the attic, I will do it with 
appropriate LyX notes.

I'm going to delete jgrga.layout and agums.layout, which were used by pre-2008 
agutex.cls and reused by aguplus.cls (which is still in TeXLive, but obsolete in 
CTAN, so I think it will not be part anymore of TeXLive2018).
aguplus (1999) was in turn obsoleted by post-2008 agutex.cls, which included 
jgrga and agums (and others) as class options coded in the class file instead of 
  external .sty files.

Currently, here I can compile successfully AGUTeX.lyx which used agutex.layout 
and post-2008 agutex.cls, that I have installed in my texmf-local tree in 2013 
when it was available.

As it is now impossible to find the agutex.cls class (agujournal.cls is the 
current AGU class), the template/obsolete/AGUTeX.lyx can only be compiled if one 
has kept the class file in one's texmf-local tree, and this only for the sake of 
recreation of the pdf of an old paper, any new paper needing agujournal.

So should I remove also template/obsolete/AGUTeX.lyx? What is the compilation 
status of other obsoleted templates?

As for EGS, I'm going to remove egs.layout as well, the class is obsolete since 
2001, and there is no template.

I do not think that it is feasible to build a layout and template for the new 
agujournal.cls and copernicus.cls classes for 2.3.0, it will involve strings 
changes.

The AGUTeX wiki page

http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AGUTeX

is completely out of date for Linux, I will edit that also.
