4. I was waiting for the next release for this, but the scrollkeeper dep has been replaced by rarian
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.
You seem to know more about this than i do! Ok, i've stripped out all the scrollkeeper from gnucash and updated the gnucash-docs package (should these have been merged? they are separate .tar.gz sources, so i've just made them separate packages), and updated the version to 2.2.3. I also removed the aqbanking dependency. Before that, i checked to see if you could build gnucash with aqbanking, but not have it listed as a dependency, and it ran fine. It had the internet banking options in the Tools menu if it found aqbanking, or removed it if it could not. However, since something is still the matter with aqbanking or with where gnucash expects it to be (it gives an error message indicating that it cannot locate some aqbanking utility when clicking through the wizard), i just removed it entirely. There were some users in the past that used it, however. Anyway, new PKGBUILDs and .install files are up in AUR. I've got the old ones around if you want to compare. NOTE: slib is still a problem. without some crazy workarounds, gnucash won't build properly with anything after slib-3a1. Again, please forward this on to the mailing list for reference. Regards, Mark

Great! Ok, so to see if I have this right, aqbanking can be enabled without the package installed, and it works fine unless you use the aqbanking wizard? I'd almost be fine with that, and a post-install/post-upgrade message to that effect ("Install aqbanking from unsupported"), assuming I did grasp all that right. If this is the case, and aqbanking is gone from the deps, do I get the +1s back again, heh?

Yeah, and even worse is my trying to upgrade goffice at the same time. Yay breakage! Don't worry though, I'll get it PS This is a huge amount of discussion for this package. It's kinda neat.

Yup, knock yourself out ... +1 :)

Let me rephrase: if you have aqbanking as a makedepends, you can build it with support for it. If you have it installed, at run time, gnucash will populate an "Online Banking Setup" menu item in the "Tools" menu. If you don't, that menu item won't appear. The "Online Banking Setup" brings up a wizard-like window that you click next through and it will try to locate some aqbanking utility, which has only failed for me, and is reported in the forums [1]. So, yes, in my experience, you can generate that post-install/upgrade message, if you had aqbanking as a makedepends with the appropriate configure flags.

The slib issues have been detailed in the forums [2][3] and on the AUR page [4]. As usual, please forward this to the list.

Errr... don't we require that makedepends should be at the same or higher level repo as package that require them? -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
