The longer term goal is, yes, to automate a flatpak build as part of the release process. Right now that part isn't quite automated, and indeed the tag-build script isn't working properly (Geert is working on it). Some of this will need to wait until I can upgrade code to a newer OS which includes a newer flatpak-builder. I will need to schedule some time to perform that maintenance -- maybe during the Superbowl ;) -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
[GNC-dev] [MAINT] server upgrade planned Feb 3, 2019 1200-2300 US/EST
Hi, PLANNED MAINTENANCE WHAT: Upgrading Operating System on Code WHEN: Feb 3, 2019 1200-2300 US/EST (1700-0400 UTC) tl;dr: I am planning to upgrade the OS on code.gnucash.org on February 3, 2019 from 1200-2300 US/EDT (1700-0400 UTC). During this time, git master, wiki, email/mailman, and gncbot/irc logs will all be unavailable. I'll be on #gnucash IRC for real-time updates and notices. Long version: The GnuCash "everything" server is getting a little long on the tooth, and to enable some upgraded build tools I plan to upgrade the server from Fedora 25 to Fedora 29. I plan to do this upgrade on Sunday, February 3, 2019, starting somewhere around 12:00 noon US/EST (although my personal schedule might push that back, hense the long maintenance window). I've upgraded a few systems from F25 -> F29 already, some of them upgraded in an hour, one system took over 4 hours. Code has lots of services so I expect it will take a long time to upgrade and verify that everything is working. During the upgrade window code will be unavailable, and the services running on code will be unavailable. I will stay on IRC during the upgrade to make real-time announcements. Please let me know if this time frame does not work for you.

[GNC-dev] Alphavantage strategies
I was unaware [1] until recently that Alphavantage wanted individuals / non-subscribers / poor people / whoever doesn't pay / to back off a bit. I don't have a problem with this, it is a good free service and it has been obvious they're struggling. [1] but not surprised to discover There have been postings in the .user list (one of them being mine) that involve editing files in the F:Q install to mitigate this. Not a good idea as the next update overwrites any changes, users shouldn't have to get involved, may not be reading the list, sleep(15) is arbitrary, etc. Let's consider some simple backoff strategies that gnc could implement, feel free to add your own. Wm's suggestion === only collect if the most recent price is more than 1 day (or 12 hours, etc) old [2]. this sort of fits in with the existing post collection query, i.e. always store the good prices that have been obtained, instead ask the user, "do you want to try and fetch the other prices / rates again". this provides a natural pause to Alphavantage as gnc won't be hitting it for prices it just got a second time and would only be requesting the prices it didn't get last time. [2] I use this in my own collections (external to gnc) run by cron, some more obscure currency pairs are only available a few hours a day, I don't even try if the most recent is less than a day old. -- Wm ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

That's great news! I've collected the links I found so far to this issue: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796019 It is now closed since the AppImage is there and there are ongoing efforts in getting an official Flatpak image. > Sent: Friday, January 11, 2019 at 6:34 PM > From: "Derek Atkins" > To: cicko > Cc: gnucash-devel@gnucash.org > Subject: Re: [GNC-dev] AppImage > > For the record, we are working on getting a Flatpak build done locally. > It's on my to-do to set up a "nightly" build. > -derek > > cicko writes: > > > Someone actually created an AppImage repo for GnuCash at > > https://github.com/ecmu/gnucash.AppImage ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
