Builds without problems in Jaunty, see package and logs at https://launchpad.net/~loic-martin3/+archive/gnucash

To try under Ubuntu 9.04 32bits, please use https://launchpad.net/~loic-martin3/+archive/gnucash/+files/gnucash_2.2.9-0ubuntu1~jaunty1_i386.deb

If you use Ubuntu 9.04 64 bits, please use https://launchpad.net/~loic-martin3/+archive/gnucash/+files/gnucash_2.2.9-0ubuntu1~jaunty1_amd64.deb

Please test the packages in Jaunty and report of they work well or not, including possibly online banking (especially if the online banking worked already with 2.2.6).

[Loïc Martin (loic-martin3)]

Runs without glitches on i386 both English and French locale. Didn't test online banking.

[Loïc Martin (loic-martin3)]

Just forgot: you need to install 2 packages, the first is in the post 2 posts above and depends on wheter you use 32 bits or 64 bits Ubuntu, the second is common and can be found here:
https://launchpad.net/~loic-martin3/+archive/gnucash/+files/gnucash-common_2.2.9-0ubuntu1~jaunty1_all.deb

[Tommy Trussell (tommy-trussell)]

Confirmation: I just installed Gnucash from your PPA and (of course) it installs and runs fine under Ubuntu 9.04.

I do not use either online banking or FQ so I have not tested those.

P.S.: I missed seeing this back in June. My sincerest apologies for not seeing your message.

Ack from ubuntu-backporters.

[Loïc Martin (loic-martin3)]

Thanks a lot Scott!

[James Westby (james-w)]

Hi,

We now have gnucash_2.2.9-0ubuntu4 in karmic, is this request still
approved?

Thanks,

James

[Loïc Martin (loic-martin3)]

James, good question. Only 2.2.9-0ubuntu1 can be backported to Jaunty, I filled that request hoping it would have enough users reporting it worked before -0ubuntu2 got uploaded.

Gnucash 2.2.9-0ubuntu2 and upwards have been patched to build against libgoffice-0-8, which is only in Karmic. See changelog:
> gnucash (2.2.9-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low
>
> * 03_goffice_0-7-5_support.dpatch: make gnucash build against goffice >=
> 0.7.5 (fix backported for 2.3 branch, can be dropped with the next stable
> release)
> * debian/control: B-D on ligoffice-0-8-dev
>

If it's possible to backport 2.2.9-0ubuntu1, please go ahead, it has worthwhile improvements. If not, it's better not to try, since later releases will probably fail to build.
Thanks.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Loïc,

Make a debdiff that reverts the incompatible change(s) (make sure debian/changelog reflects backports versioning) and I'll see about uploading that.

[Loïc Martin (loic-martin3)]

Here's the debdiff. I removed only what prevented -0ubuntu4 to build for Jaunty, all dependencies-versions related. I left 04_renew-gui.dpatch even though it's not necessary with libaqbanking20-dev (Jaunty), the bug report seems like it's not harmful either (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582048).

Builds fine, see logs https://launchpad.net/~loic-martin3/+archive/ppa/+build/1267234/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-jaunty-i386.gnucash_2.2.9-0ubuntu4~jaunty1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz
Seems to run fine on i386 Jaunty, but I'm not a gnucash user. -0ubuntu1 was tested before though.

gnucash (2.2.9-0ubuntu4~jaunty1) jaunty-backports; urgency=low

  * Backport to Jaunty (LP: #383742), changes:
    + debian/control: Build-Depends on libgoffice-0-6-dev and
      libaqbanking20-dev since libgoffice-0.8-dev and libaqbanking29-dev
      are only in Karmic. The deps are now the same as with 2.2.9-0ubuntu1;
    + debian/patches: remove 03_goffice_0-7-5_support.dpatch from OOlist
      since we build agaisnt libgoffice-0-6-dev. Left 04_renew-gui.dpatch
      applied, it's not necessary with libaqbanking20-dev, but removing it
      doesn't seem necessary.

unsubscribing ubuntu-archive as there is nothing for us to do here.
