Fink has a couple shadow maintainers for gnucash. bmaret did the lion's share of work on making a new .info file, and now I'm pounding away at getting modern versions of the dependencies submitted (finance-quote 1.12 made it last week, libofx 0.8.2 became available this afternoon). ktoblzcheck went in for validation last night, and next are gwenhywfar and aqbanking (which I'm much more familiar with). At that point I can have the main fink devels evaluate my mods to bmaret's experimental info file. I will most likely end up as the official maintainer (yikes!) of gnucash. I think gnucash 2.0.2 might be available in fink unstable in a week or two. I don't know how long it takes to migrate to the binary tree (mostly, I think it takes several people confirming that it works on both PPC and Intel Macs). Possible delay is that yahoo broke the finance-quotehist build again (third time this year). I haven't heard from upstream about getting the tests fixed for that. Happily, with the new(?) fink policy workaround, neither gnucash nor its dependencies end up in crypto, because they can build against and link to the Apple supplied openssl files. That makes binary distribution much easier. Now, wasn't that much easier than waiting for anyone to completely redo a GUI?
