They are only available from sourceforge for now,
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=192

These are my first RPMS ever.  Please tell me if anything doesn't work for 
you.  They are Mandrake 9.1 packages based on the packages in Mandrake cooker 
by Frédéric Crozat.  

Changes compared to the cooker package are:
-Added missing build requires for libtool-devel and libguile12-devel
-Updated gnucash-docs to 1.8.2
-Downgraded the minimal g-wrap version to 1.3.4-4 to allow them to be compiled 
on a virgin 9.1 system.

These package should also work fine with Mandrake cooker, and you'll get 
updated docs compared to the packages currently in cooker.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You run Mandrake >=9.1 and, you want to contribute to gnucash development but 
had trouble setting up your build environment in the past?  Here is a really 
easy step by step howto:

1- Remove your installed version of gnucash by tying (as root) : 
urpme gnucash

2- Download gnucash-1.8.5-2mdk.src.rpm from the link above

3-Change to the directory you downloaded it to, and type (as root): 
urpmi gnucash-1.8.5-2mdk.src.rpm
You will be prompted for your Mandrake CDs, and all the required dependencies 
and -devel packages will be installed.

4-Checkout gnucash from our cvs server by typing:
cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.gnucash.org:/home/cvs/cvsroot login
Enter "guest" when prompted for a password and then type:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.gnucash.org:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout gnucash

5-Build gnucash for the first time:
cd gnucash
./autogen.sh --enable-ofx --enable-hbci
make
make install   (as root)
6- Type: gnucash
If it runs, start hacking!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P.S.:  Chris, can you upload those 5 files to the appropriate directory on 
gnucash.org, I don't have access.
P.P.S:  Perhaps this howto can be included somewhere...
