כללי

• Ubuntu releases twice a year, with version numbers indicating the year and month of release (yy.mm). Each release also has a nickname. (The first release came out in October 2004; Ubuntu 4.10 was also known as "Warty Warthog.")
• All of Ubuntu's six-month releases receive security updates for 18 months. In addition, some releases are designated "LTS" for Long Term Support. LTS releases are officially supported with security updates (and backported to) for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years for servers.
• At present, GnuCash is NOT in Ubuntu's "Main" repositories, so updates must work their way through the Debian update process. Because of this situation, Ubuntu repositories usually contain a version of GnuCash that is a release or two behind the latest stable version.

Handy Links:

• Wikipedia has a handy chart showing which Ubuntu versions are still supported.
• Debian Tracker for GnuCash package (The GnuCash package gets copied from Debian testing before each Ubuntu release.)
• packages.ubuntu.com Ubuntu GnuCash package list
• Ubuntu gnucash bugs in launchpad

The version of GnuCash and some of its dependencies in the official Ubuntu repositories tends to be outdated.

מילה אודות GetDeb

ייתכן שתתקלו בהפניות ל "GetDeb" באתר ויקי זה או בדיונים שבארכיון, האתר הכיל בעבר חבילות דביאן באקפורט לא רשמיות של יישומים פופולריים, לרבות גנוקאש. האתר תוחזק על ידי קבוצה קטנה של מתנדבים פרטיים. זמן מה לפני 2018 האתר הפך מיושן ובסופו של דבר נעלם לחלוטין. בשנת 2019 מישהו רכש את שם המתחם (domain) ונראה שכיום הוא משמש כאתר חדשות.

AqBanking @ ppa

Similar you can get more recent versions of AqBanking via aqbanking-backports-ppa.

GnuCash @ Debian Archive

GnuCash (for Debian based distributions) can be downloaded from the Debian Archive which is primarily an archive for old distributions of Debian but also contains recent versions of GnuCash.
See http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/README.html.

As at 5th Jul 2018, the Debian Archive includes

• GnuCash 2.6.15: should work in Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10
• GnuCash 3.0-1: should work in Ubuntu 18.04 (not tested)
• GnuCash 3.2-1: unknown Ubuntu compatibility
  

To install:

• Uninstall and purge any previous version of GnuCash using the above instructions for GetDeb
• Download from http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnucash/ (say by clicking on the required files in FireFox):

gnucash_2.6.15-1_amd64.deb (another file may be needed if not using 64 bit Ubuntu on intel/amd)

gnucash-common_2.6.15-1_all.deb

Firefox will download to ~/Downloads

• In a terminal

 cd ~/Downloads
 sudo dpkg -i gnucash_2.6.15-1_amd64.deb gnucash-common_2.6.15-1_all.deb

There will be complaints about some missing dependencies: libaqbanking35 etc.

• Open Ubuntu Software Centre from the Dash.

It will say there is a problem and offer to repair it. Accept the offer. After 30 seconds or so, all the dependencies should have been installed.

Standard Ubuntu Releases of GnuCash

If you not using any other software sources, when you install GnuCash, the version you get will be the version archived for your release of Ubuntu. GnuCash is not officially maintained for Ubuntu, so it is the latest Debian version available when the Ubuntu release was "frozen" (as listed below). Depending on your version of Ubuntu, you may additionally have to manually activate the "Universe" repository (using the Software Sources application) before GnuCash is visible.

If you are using an older (such as one of the LTS versions) of Ubuntu, you may want an updated version of GnuCash from an official repository. As newer versions of GnuCash become "back-ported" to your release, you can activate the Backports repository to install the latest back-ported upgrade. (If fidelity to the rest of the supported release is important to you, also be sure to "pin" your Backports repository to a lower priority than the other repositories using an /etc/apt/preferences file, and install only the upgraded packages you use.) For more backport details see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports

Because back-ported releases come from Debian packages, even back-ported versions are usually at least a bit outdated, too. :-( If you want the latest, your best bet is to build it yourself.

Adding Shortcuts to the Launcher

To create shortcuts for KDE or Standard GNOME, see Desktop Shortcuts.

From Ubuntu 11.10 to Ubuntu 16.04, default Ubuntu installations included Unity, and its Launcher, which contained a set of icons for commonly-used applications. If you regularly open more than one set of GnuCash books you can add a useful right-click menu to the GnuCash icon in the Unity Launcher to open each of your sets of books independently. (Using this method you can have multiple sets of GnuCash books open simultaneously, which you cannot do using the menu within GnuCash.) See Unity Shortcuts for details.

בניית גנוקאש באופן עצמאי

מספר סיבות עשויות להביא אותנו לרצות לבנות את גנוקאש בעצמנו:

• המהדורות הזמינות בכמה מההפצות אינן עדכניות;
• הצורך בתכונות חדשות ותיקון תקלים;
• הרצון או הצורך שלנו לטפל בתקלות או שיפור הקוד של גנוקאש.

בנית גנוקאש מקוד המקור אינה מצריכה ידע או יכולות טכניות ברמה מאודגבוהה.

'חשוב: אם בונים את גנוקאש מקוד המקור לצורכי מערכת ייצור, הדרו את הקוד רק מהשחרור האחרון הייציב STABLE. (גרסת הפתוח עלולה להכיל גם תקלים חדשים ותסוגות קוד שארעו במהלך הפתוח.)
