Grisbi is a personnal accounting application running under GNU/Linux and Windows, released under the GPL licence.

Having recently purchased a Nokia 770 whose operating system, codenamed Maemo is a Linux derivative, I was eager to find out if I could get my favourite accounting application to run on it. Here (IT2006 package) is the result of my first attempt, based on Grisbi 0.5.9. The following parameters can be used in the Application Installer to ease installation and future updates:

  • Repository: http://antoineschweitzer.free.fr/mistral
  • Distribution: binary
  • Component: (leave blank)

Hildonization is partially done in the sense that only part of the UI has been modified to take into account the limited screen real estate, it is however quite usable (in my opinion!) to keep track of your accounts on-the-go. I personaly keep my main .gsb on my desktop computer and copy it by hand on my tablet before going on a trip, and copy it back when I'm back home.

TODO:

  • Startup is slow, investigation needed :-)
  • Complete UI adaptation, the first three tabs are done, the rest is untouched simply because I did not need them on my last trip...
  • Cleanup code modifications, maybe try to integrate them in the main source tree?

Feedback and improvement requests welcome!

PS: This site has been offline for a few days because of a (still unexplained) problem with the MySQL database handled by Free... My database was completely emptied during the night :-( I re-created this post by hand, but lost the comments. Guess I will run frequent backups from now on...
