As a humble suggestion, it might pay large dividends to invest some time researching scheme profiling methods. This would cover Christian's ideas of checking what was really bogging down the report(s), and would help you or anyone else fix or speed up other reports in the future. Perhaps folks

Hi All, If by a tarball you mean a 50 to 60 megabyte file each night I would soon run out of download quota. Why not a svn checkout of a compiled and runable gnucash that can be run independently of the stable 2.2.1 version? I am still attempting to get a working build system for gnucash

Stephen, Where did Nathan use the word tarball? I don't see it anywhere... Nathan was asking whether he thought people would want to be able to have a nightly Win32 build (gnucash-setup.exe) available in addition to the stable Win32 build (gnucash-setup.exe). HOPEFULLY the two installations

Branch off a 2.2-branch, then merge CSV importer into trunk?

2007-10-07 Thread Christian Stimming
The subject says it all: The CSV importer in the csv-branch looks good enough to be merged into our developement trunk. However, it still needs some work here and there, which is why it shouldn't be merged into the trunk branch as long as we are still releasing 2.2.x releases from it. Hence,
