2021.1 build 3069 is available.

Having some trouble with the build, getting:

==> Validating source_x86_64 files with sha256sums... moneydance_amd64-2020.1928-1.tar.gz ... FAILED

==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! Failed to build moneydance

2020.1 is available. https://infinitekind.com/blog/moneydance-2020-1

Moneydance 2020.1919 is now available. https://infinitekind.com/update

This package built properly on my pinebook pro under the aarch64 architecture (arm64).

I made three changes to the original pkgbuild file so that it thinks that the amd64 sources are good for aarch64. Here is the generated diff:

For some reason, the generated diff did not catch the last change. I also added this line at the end of the pkgbuild file below the x86_64 line

sha256sums_aarch64=('9670ef2977c3cbff41666bd6a6c83ef8e81343ab1b2d009d4e07dd99acb30d25')

The dependency on openjdk is unneccessary and can be removed from the PKGBUILD.

I just installed but it failed to run. The installer (pacaur) pulled in: jre-openjdk-headless-12.0.2.u10-1 libnet-1.1.6-3 jre-openjdk-12.0.2.u10-1

After editing the 1st line in /usr/bin/moneydance to 'export PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-12-openjdk/bin/:$PATH' it starts OK.

UPDATE: Ok, figured it out... in /usr/bin/moneydance add the following export statement: export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2'

This increased the size, unfortunately, too much for my 14" FHD laptop screen. However, it may help others with an external FHD monitor.

Thanks for the latest install! MD renders a bit small on my HD laptop screen. MD has published a work around (https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/kb/linux/linux-and-hidpi-high-resolution-screens) by adding a few lines to a file "Moneydance.vmoptions" that should be in the same folder as the Moneydance exec., typically in /opt.

However, I don't have anything in /opt. I did try the file in the two fillowing locations, but NG:

/usr/share/java/moneydance

/usr/share/java/moneydance/moneydance.jar

Any thoughts where I can add the "Moneydance.vmoptions" file to increase the display size?

Thanks for this. It is a breaking point for adopting a new distro.

Version 2019.0 (1847) has been released. This requires jre-openjdk (OpenJDK 11). Java 8 or 10 do not work).
