Re: [GNC-dev] AppImage

[Adrien Monteleone]

FYI,

There is already a Flatpak and a Snap available, but it looks like both are 
still at 2.6.x

https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnucash.GnuCash
https://snapcraft.io/gnucash-jz

I don’t see a size on the Flatpak, but the Snap is a tad under 111MB.

Interestingly, the .dmg went from ≈112MB to ≈184MB and the .exe went from 
≈120MB down to ≈94MB from 2.6.21 to 3.1.

Adrien

None of the core devs have had time to look into application bundles for Linux. 
Since the Windows and Mac bundles also have pretty much all of the dependency 
libraries and associated data in them I imagine that a Flatpack or similar 
would run to about the same size, 120-180MB.

[GNC-dev] AppImage

[cicko]

I just learned a bit more about application packages (AppImage, Snap,
Flatpak) on Linux after downloading KeePassXC image and find them quite
convenient. 
Nabble does not find anything if I search for AppImage so I'd like to see
you opinion about using one of these for distributing Linux version of
GnuCash. I've only used AppImage so far and it works fine. Apparently it
would work on any distribution because all the libraries are packaged with
the executable.
If this was applied to GnuCash, would the distribution size be much larger?
Has anyone tried?
Even though I'm on Tumbleweed, a rolling OpenSuse distribution with the
apparently latest software, GnuCash 3.1 is still not available as a
compatible rpm. Somehow, the distribution of software for Windows still has
the upper hand in terms of being easy and simple. At least for the end
users.
Having an AppImage of the latest GnuCash would, I guess, enable all Linux
users to have the latest binary version without needing to build it
themselves and/or depending on multitude of development tools and libraries.

Is there anything preventing building and packaging the latest (either
stable or nightly) version of GnuCash in this way? Have you thought about it
before? Have you tried it already? What were the findings?

Cheers

Re: [GNC-dev] Bug 795653 - Windows File Open/Save Dialog

[Robert Fewell]

John,

I think I downgraded gtk and ran gnucash from the install directory with no
change. Did glib and when starting gnucash complained about pango.
I did not rebuild gnucash after just doing gtk, I can check on that
tomorrow if you would like.

Re: [GNC-dev] [GNC] Convincing my credit union to support online importing

[Jeff Albrecht]

The question dated 4/19/2018 was originally posted on gnucash-user I 
post response to my own question here on gnucash-devel hoping to help my 
Credit Union learn how to appear in the OFX DirectConnect User Setup wizard.

...

Very cool. I now have my GNUCash checking and savings accounts connected 
online to my credit union (cu).


After discussing with them at the annual meeting, the cu actually 
installed it (I suggested 2.6.21 rather than 3.0) they reported; 
"Version 2.6.21 installed cleanly, thank you for the tip.  We completed 
a review of the application including information security and 
integration options.  It’s a very complete solution."


The configuration isn't ready for prime time yet for all cu members, 
however the cu want's to learn how / where to add itself so that they 
show up in the OFXConnect wizard.


They asked me; "Do you know where GNUcash sources the financial 
institution list?  http://www.ofxhome.com looks to be the best 
reference.  I wonder if we add redactedcu there, then the GNUcash setup 
wizard might pick up the settings." Can someone help me answer them?



Thanks, - Jeff

[GNC-dev] Bug 795653 - Windows File Open/Save Dialog

[Robert Fewell]

Had a poke at this as I was certain that it was working in the 2.7.x series.

It can be fixed by downgrading the following packages with pcman -U to...

pacman -U
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/mingw-w64-i686-glib2-2.54.3-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -U
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/mingw-w64-i686-pango-1.40.11-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -U
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/mingw-w64-i686-gtk3-3.22.28-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

I did try doing a system upgrade with pacman -Syu but with those packages I
still had to down grade to the above packages to fix the file chooser
dialogue.

Hi,

BZ is Perl, so no recompiling needed.
Changing that parameter is not sufficient.  Indeed, when I was testing it
was set without the added /bugzilla.
I think the issue is an Apache configuration issue.

I would think that’s a permalink type setting. BZ is writing that in because 
it’s specified. I’d be shocked (and saddened a little) to discover it was hard 
coded. (editable of course, but then you’d have to recompile BZ!)

Re: [GNC-dev] GnuCash Bugzilla URLs -- /bugzilla or not?

[Adrien Monteleone]

I like the idea to either use a sub-domain OR a sub-folder, but not both. (for 
the same purpose)

I suppose to stay consistent with other practices on gnucash.org, stick with 
the sub-domain.

My usual rule is that if you are providing something that is running a separate 
process from the webserver (such as a bugzilla instance, mailman, webmail, 
wiki, online store, etc.) then use a sub-domain. If you’re just accessing a 
separately organized area of the main website, use a sub-folder.

Though you could have sub-folders that are specifically for specially organized 
info/instances for each sub-domain as applicable. For example, if you have 
several help pages for BZ, those might all be collected under 
bugzilla.gnucash.org/help/ rather than throwing all of them at the top level.

I’m not sure how BZ is organized, but an exception to this rule might be if you 
maintained separate bug lists for the different branches, you might do that 
with sub-folders, but if you have to run separate BZ instances, then probably 
use another level of subdomain—i.e., bugzilla.gnucash.org/maint/ or 
maint.bugzilla.gnucash.org. (probably a bad example since such separation is 
going to be likely messy if someone files a bug under the wrong instance, but 
not so much if there’s one instance with branch organization, which I think is 
already provided from within BZ anyway)

As a side question, will this be a more up-to-date version of BZ? (is there 
one?) I find the organization used by current version a little cumbersome, 
though perhaps that might go away when this becomes a dedicated GnuCash BZ 
instance without any other projects.

Regards,
Adrien

p.s. - don’t forget if you don’t already have it, you’ll need a wildcard 
certificate to handle the subs.

I did a simple test to try to remove the extra /bugzilla but it failed and
locked me out of the server (yay fail2ban).  When I get home I'll take
more time to try to figure it out.  So it stays for now.  I consider it
low priority to fix; all existing URLs will be broken anyways, so when we
mass convert it's not a big deal to re-add the extra /bugzilla in there.

On the face of it, yeah, especially since you’ve made the effort to create a 
“bugzilla.gnucash.org ” vhost.

OTOH, it’s pretty rare to type out a URI these days so it’s not harmful, just 
ugly.

The extra /bugzilla does seem superfluous to me.

[GNC-dev] GnuCash Bugzilla URLs -- /bugzilla or not?

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

As you are aware, we are looking at migrating from gnome bugzilla to our
own instance because gnome is shutting their BZ off.  I've been working on
migrating the data, and have what I think is a good migration process in
place.  We are at the early stages of testing the migration, but I wanted
to open up some high-level questions to everyone.

My first question to you all:  The BZ URL.

The current URLs at gnome are bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi

Currently, the URLs for us are bugzilla.gnucash.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi

Do people care?  Do you want me to look at removing that /bugzilla in there?

Let me know your thoughts.  I'll post more questions later.

Thanks!
