Originally I had typed ’simple’ in quotes and thought better of it. Certainly no, it won’t be simple or easy. But I do hope by then, either myself or someone else with nothing better to do will write a Cocoa native version. (or whatever Mac is using at the time) I have to say though, the

No disagreement here on building from source. A PPA did exist for GnuCash versions beyond the Ubuntu standard repo. That was GetDeb.org. It went dark. If I had installed 3.x.x. from GetDeb and I had to reinstall for some reason, building from source would be about the only option (or perhaps

I’m not sure what you mean by ’not getting too far ahead of your distribution.’ I’ve successfully compiled and used 3.2 (and 2.6.17 and 2.6.19) on Ubuntu 16.04 which has 2.6.12 in its repo. Unless you’re using a dedicated PPA (which doesn’t exist for GnuCash), certainly changing repos to

I know at least one uses Fedora, so they won’t be building a .deb for you. (an .rpm perhaps?) But building a .deb package is what you’re going to find in a repository. (Debian/Ubuntu/derivative repositories are collections of .deb packages) 3.2 has not made it out of Sid because of several

Yes, thank you, I may try building from source. Has there ever been a standalone .deb package for GnuCash? I don't know what the flatpack is, but it occurs to me that for linux, debian, etc., a 3.x .deb might be worthwhile. But I don't think I have seen a .deb package on the download links at

I'm not sure how the version history works in Ubuntu or Debian, but I installed GnuCash 2.6.7 from getdeb.org quite a while ago, and "pinned" it (so that apt-get upgrade would not go to the version up) to that version hoping that gnucash in Ubuntu 14 would catch up with 2.6.7. Ubuntu 14 ("Trusty

Just curious... It has been almost a year since Gnucash was removed to Debian testing. It has (re)entered SID on 7/4, and there it sits... Who is responsible for working on the "excuses" for why is stays in SID: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnucash, and has not migrated to Testing? Lincoln

Hi, I've been troubled by the lack of Gnucash activity in Debian/Ubuntu repositories. I previously used getdeb, which went silent around September 2017. I tried contacting the owners, but no reply. There was also an attempt on Launchpad to provided more recent versions via a PPA, but that also
