New extra package: gnucash
 

I said I was going to do this ages ago, due to the weirdness that is
goffice, and the fact that I "maintain" both goffice and gnumeric
already - does anyone take issue with pulling gnucash into [extra]?

gnucash is now gtk2, right? if its not a pain to build (i remember
early versions of it was) and it is a living project, then its only
an enrichment to cover also this kind of tools with it.

i back up your decision on this, feel free to take it to extra.

The project seems alive and active, so no objection from me too

Aaron,

I am the current maintainer of the gnucash package in AUR. I was
wondering, if it is being pulled into extra, would you become the new
maintainer? Also, i would like to warn you about a couple of things:

1. gnucash depends on slib, which is in community currently
2. we have been having issues compiling gnucash with the newer
versions of slib. I currently can still only build it with slib-3a1.
Mainly, it's been issues with relocating files in the slib package and
relocating/renaming functions.
3. gnucash depends on aqbanking which is also in community (and which
we are also currently having runtime problems with)
4. I was waiting for the next release for this, but the scrollkeeper
dep has been replaced by rarian
5. gnucash 2.2.3 was released today with some bug fixes

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Regards,
Mark

Ah, you mean removal of scrollkeeper-update statements from the .install
file, removing scrollkeeper/rarian from dependencies and adding
gnome-doc-utils>=0.12.0 to makedepends ;)
There's no reason to have rarian installed if you don't have a help
viewer installed. Currently, yelp is the only scrollkeeper help viewer
and depends on rarian.

Yes, but I'm more than willing to work with you as I don't use gnucash
as much as some of the online financial utilities, but it depends on
goffice, and I already maintain gnumeric because goffice is such a
pain in the ass.

I also feel that gnucash is a worthy package to be supported by Arch
in the official repos, so that's part of the rationale here. I also
feel like I would use it more were it a package I was responsible for
(so there's a subtle selfish reason in here, heh)

Ah good catch, I was not aware of these two deps not being in extra. Silly me.

So guys: adding gnucash to extra would pull in these two deps. Is this
still acceptable?

As apposed to the normal tack of not saying anything when I have no
negative feedback, I am going to try yielding some affirmative
feedback more regularly.

So here it is.
I have no problem with pulling in those deps to get gnucash into the
repos. gnucash seems like something quite a few people would use, even
if I don't.
