The reason fink doesn't have a stable gnucash2 is that I chose to  
package aqbanking with it. Fink's conservative outlook on  
cryptography implementation will keep the full gnucash2 out of  
stable. I have managed to get everything but online banking linked  
against Apple's crypto distributions so that I will be able to get a  
stable package submitted once several more dependencies are upgraded  
in stable. The stable/binary version will be missing hbci (German  
online banking) and ofxdirectconnect. Regular OFX imports from files  
will be present.

I have had positive feedback from both ppc and intel based Mac users  
regarding gnucash2 2.0.5.

The latest problem has been with 2.1 on intel Macs, and I think Derek  
has stomped on that tonight. 2.2 won't be out for a while yet, anyway.
