Thanks John, Oh, and "Hi" to everyone. I totally forgot to introduce myself. "gnucash-launcher" worked great. If I'm just modifying aqbanking I could just do: jhbuild buildone --force --clean aqbanking jhbuild buildone --force --clean gnucash correct? "gnucash-svn" is a mailing list or a place (repo)? I think you mean the repo. I was first going to make the changes on 2.4.5-stable and then get the trunk and merge them over. Fixing anything that broke. Which creates the question. I built using the scripts out of the box (as much as I could). Would I just change the rev to the 2.4.5 rev in "gnucash.modules" (from 20418 to 20528) and "jhbuild build"?
