HBCI & Discover Card

[gnucash at rclar.com]

> It means you'll need to rebuild gnucash yourself to get HBCI/OFX support.

And you can't do it the easy way (http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Debian)
because 8.04 moved to libaqbanking3. A "bug" for this problems was
reported here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnucash/+bug/221390

I personally haven't found the time to build the whole ball of wax from
scratch, which I think is the only alternative, at least until the
aqbanking2 stuff gets put back in ubuntu, or gnucash is ported to
aqbanking3. http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/AqBanking3_Porting

I think I saw somewhere some (but can't find right now) how to temporarily
fallback your apt sources to feisty to install the aqbanking2. That
approach may be the quickest, but I am not certain it is the safest /
"right" way of doing things.

I am still holding off on the update to 8.04 till I can adequately work
this all out.

If anyone knows of something I missed, or an easier way to get any of this
to happen, please chime in.

Thanks

Rich
