gnucash 2.0.2 for Foresight

Yesterday I finally got around to transfer the recipes from my private Conary repository into the foresight.rpath.org@fl:1-devel branch. Everything is now built, you should be able to use the above label to try out the newer gnucash.

Some of the intricacies included:

  • newer guile and slib packages conflict with umb-scheme. You’ll have to get rid of umb-scheme.
  • gnome-games needed to be recopiled against the newer guile.
  • guile and slib are pretty evil to compile, I had to use tag handlers. You have to start somewhere :-)
  • I have split the HBCI support into a different package, gnucash-hbci. The reason for that was the extra dependency on aqbanking which was pulling in the KDE libraries.
    This extra package would allow you to do online banking with Gnucash, if your bank supports the OFX protocol (and most do, except that you will not get that information from the bank). Follow this link to learn more than you wanted to know about the mess.

Happy managing of your financials! :-)
