Wm,
Portable Apps is just another downstream distro. We have no ability to enforce
anything against any distro. Either they maintain a usable GnuCash in their
package manager or they don’t and there’s not a darn thing we can do about it
unless they have a technical reason for not doing so (like the recent dropping
of the WebKit1 API by Fedora) and inform us of it. AFAIK we’ve never had any
such contact from the Portable team.
That isn't how PA present their re-packaging and use of GnuCash.
A question for you: Why did you choose to use GnuCash Portable instead of the GnuCash
Windows bundle from www.gnucash.org <http://www.gnucash.org/>?
I don't use it myself, I use it on other people's behalf.
Reasons?
Convenience. I can say "don't update to GnuCash 3.x until it is working
right for you" rather than having them try early versions that I know
won't do what they expect.
Backups. PortableApps puts data in more sensible places by default than
GnuCash does, or used to. <--- See the circle here?
