[GNC] GnuCash 3 for Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS

[rsbrux]

P.S. I still have a working Ubuntu 18.04 installation, so I thought I might find GnuCash 3.8 in a backport repository.

However, I have only found it in focal (1:3.8b-1build4) and focal-updates (1:3.8b-1ubuntu1).

What is the difference between 3.8b-1build4 and 3.8b-1ubuntu1?

Would it be safe to install either of these GC versions in either Ubuntu 18.04 or 22.04?

According to https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu, “GnuCash 4.8 is included in Ubuntu 22.04, released April 2022 https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/gnucash”.

I was running GC 2.6.19 under Ubuntu Studio 18.04 and I have read on this mailing list that I will need to migrate to GC v 3.x before I can migrate to GC 4.

I would therefore like to install GC 3.8b. What is the easiest way to do this?

Is there a repository I can add to Discover that I can pull it (or at least some stable 3.x version) from?
