Bug 166997 – app-office/gnucash-2.0.x needs >=glib-2.12.9 and >=libofx-0.8.3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hal Engel 2007-02-15 10:12:50 UTC]

When I installed gnucash 2.0.4-r1 I was having problems with glib errors and ofx imports would hang.  After doing some testing and trying some things I found that I needed to use later versions of the glib and libofx libraries.  Initially I had glib-2.12.7 and libofx-0.8.0-r1.  After upgrading these to glib-2.12.9 and libofx-0.8.3 and rebuilding gnucash the problems went away.  I also found this to be true for gnucash-2.0.1.  So it appears this needs to be fixed for all the gnucash-2.0.x ebuilds.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gnucash
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Resulting builds did not have the correct versions of glib and libofx installed.

Expected Results:  
ebuild should force installation of correct version of glib and libofx libraries.

I'm sure that upstream would love to hear about these problems, as they intentionally have tried to work with glib all the way back to 2.4, and libofx 0.7.0 back to (with some known issues when using old versions; OFX Direct Connect, for instance, isn't supported with libofx before 0.8.0.).

Upstream: <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408115>.

The upstream bug has since been fixed, I'm not sure anyone was watching.

reassigning to new maintainer

As libofx-0.8.3 is stable for the relevant arches I'm closing this.
