[GNC] GnuCash -- Flatpak -- Update assistance needed

[Geert Janssens]

There are two different locations to get gnucash flatpaks:

1. our nightly builds: these are currently on a poor bandwidth server and for 
testing purposes only as you describe clearly

2. Flathub.org: this is a central flatpak repository for stable software 
releases.

The last couple of days I have been working on flathub to upgrade their 
gnucash package to 3.6. That is now available. While it works fine on my 
Fedora 29 machine and another user reported success on an Ubuntu 18.04 system, 
others reported issues on Fedora Workstation 30. So your mileage may vary.

Regards,

Geert
