[GNC] New accounts don't show up in GC 5.8 under Flathub

[rsbrux]

Thanks, but I'm still lost.

After executing:

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists gnucash https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/gnucash-nightlies.flatpakrepo

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

flatpak remote-ls gnucash  # because I have a 64-bit operating system

I get an extremely long list of versions starting with "master-", "maint-" or "stable-".

However, the list does not include commit dates, and I found no indication of the corresponding commit ID(s) in the Bugzilla entry <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799370> .

The instructions on the wiki say I should execute:

sudo flatpak --arch=x86_64 install gnucash org.gnucash.GnuCash//maint-C3.8b-163-g0e6c9e219-D3.8b-15-g0479ece  # <-- change version here!

(in my case presumably sudo flatpak install gnucash org.gnucash.GnuCash//maint-C3.8b-163-g0e6c9e219-D3.8b-15-g0479ece  # <-- change version here!)

What do I need to enter in place of “maint-C3.8b-163-g0e6c9e219-D3.8b-15-g0479ece”?

Many thanks for your help!

I’ve added instructions for that to the wiki page.
