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:
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)
1. gnucash depends on slib, which is in community currently 3. gnucash depends on aqbanking which is also in community (and which we are also currently having runtime problems with)
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.
