Sean,
First, thanks for a great application; I've been using Moneydance
since 2004, and I'm *very* happy with it - keep up the great work!
I don't know how often you guys see mails about running Moneydance
on Slackware, but for when/if you do, please consider referring them
to http://slackbuilds.org/ - I've written a short script which will
extract the tar.gz archive and create a standard Slackware package
from it (by "standard" I mean one that is structured and conforms
to the same guidelines as official Slackware packages).
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.1/office/Moneydance/
Aside from the obvious promotional nature of this mail :) - there
is one more point. In that Moneydance.SlackBuild script, you'll
notice that I add a Moneydance.desktop file to /usr/share/applications
and symlink the icon file into /usr/share/pixmaps; I'm curious if
you'd be willing to do that by default, or if you'd like a short
Makefile to allow installation of Moneydance to an alternate prefix
(and handle the icon/desktop file along the way). If so, I'll be
happy to do it and send it your way.
-RW
