DebConf ledgers

DebConf has done their accounting with Ledger since 2017.
Eg: https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/dc25/-/tree/main/budget
Here are some scripts and notes to help view them with hledger.

Each year has its own repo, and the repos are big.
To clone just the accounting data for all years: make
Or to clone just a few recent years: make recent

Some patches for hledger readability will be applied; those might need updating from time to time.
To check hledger readability: make hledger-check
To check ledger readability: make ledger-check

For convenient reporting, a top-level .hledger file that also includes the foreign exchange rates is created for each year’s repo.

The hledger.conf file sets a few non-essential defaults when you are in this directory.

Here are hledger’s manual and other docs.

Report examples

Single year reports:

• hledger -f 25.hledger is
• hledger -f 25.hledger is -V
• hledger -f 25.hledger is -VQSTt --drop 1

The all.hledger file reads from all the downloaded repos’ main journals:

• hledger -f all.hledger is -1 -YTN
• hledger -f all.hledger is -1 -YT -X USD

make hledger-'HLEDGERARGS' runs a hledger command on each repo’s main journal:

• make hledger-accounts
• make hledger-stats | grep 'Txns '
• make hledger-'bs -2'
• make hledger-'is -2

make ledger-'LEDGERARGS' does the same but with Ledger.

make cmd-'CMD runs a command in each repo.
