Jed,

Most of it was in the tracker items where shugboabby submitted  
candidate .info files for both gnucash and goffice.

func=detail&aid=1592732&group_id=17203&atid=414256

They won't make it as-is for general use, but they might work for  
you. By Friday night I should have time to make the goffice one  
closer to policy. (I finally had an info file pass on the first  
round. Yippeeee. Aqbanking might be live as early as tomorrow...)

I do recommend using the fink local/main branch for goffice. That way  
you can use fink to install and/or clean up.

See http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/users-guide/conf.php?phpLang=en

for information about fink.conf

Put the goffice.info and goffice.patch files in /sw/fink/10.4/local/ 
main/finkinfo/ and then just 'fink install goffice'.

shug's dependencies are overly lean, but there's a good chance you  
have the others in place already.

If you try this before Friday, let me know. I must go write a  
response to accreditation findings (yech). I won't have much time  
until Friday night.
