Ok, I have the git repository ready here for git push. However, I'm not a 
project admin of the sourceforge libofx project, which means I can't activate 
the GIT repository in the project. Can you activate it (under "Project Admin" 
-> "Features"), or add me as an admin to the libofx project? Thanks!

I had started on this, but if you have time to do it by all means do so.  The 
only time consuming part is writing the email address translation file.

[Libofx-devel] Proposal: Move source code repository from CVS to GIT

[Christian S. <chr...@cs...>]

Hi Benoit et al.,

I propose to move the libofx repository from a (age-old) CVS system to  
GIT directly. If nobody objects, I'd implement this according to the  
instructions here [1]. I won't rehash the age-old discussion of why  
CVS is a bad version control system. I just got into how to set up GIT  
on sourceforge, so I'll propose to use that one instead and I  
volunteer to implement this as well.

Best Regards,

Christian

[Libofx-devel] LibOFX 0.9.2 Released

[Benoit G. <be...@co...>]

Ok, since LibOFX 0.9.2 has been released (thanks Christian), here's a proper 
release note:

LibOFX 0.9.2:

from the current executable's location.
	- Apply patch by Geert Janssens to fix a crash on invalid date format 
	- Apply patch by ajseward with some additional fixes to allow wraping the 
library in python.
	- Apply patch by Thomas Baumgart which fixes bug #5 (Transaction posting 
date off by one)
	- Apply patch by Bill Nottingham <no...@re...>  with various C++ 
include fixes for building with recent compilers. 

LibOFX 0.9.1:
	- Add more sanity checks on string length.
	- Fix gnucash crash on OFX files with non-ascii characters and very long 
lines. See
	http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528306 and
	http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=493597. Patch by Jerome

Did you ran "sudo make install" before the test? Otherwise the DTD files might 
not be at the place where your self-compiled version expects them...

[brad <bra...@fa...>]

I found this
http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=150530&action=view
Looks very similar.

I reverted back to libofx-0.9.0 and now I can get it to build, but now I
get this error when running:

ofxdump test.ofx

If I run the ofxdump that's installed by the apt-get it works with the
same file.

I ran configure w/ --prefix and I see opensp.dcl & the other in a local
dtd directory.  How do I configure it to find these files?

[Libofx-devel] DTD_SEARCH_PATH dans un bundle Mac OS X

[Gérald N. <ger...@ge...>]

Bonjour,

je suis le mainteneur des version Mac OS X de Grisbi (http://www.grisbi.org).
J'utilise l'environnement de développement gtk-osx et ige-mac-bundle pour produire les bundle.
Pas de soucis particulier pour inclure la libofx dans le bundle. Cependant, lorsque Grisbi est exécuté depuis le bundle la libofx ne trouve pas les DTD. Est-ce qu'il y a un moyen de forcer la recherche des DTD dans le bundle ?

Well, I hardly play with libofx anymore.  

But generally speaking, as long as the code works, and the public api is 
consistent, I don't think anyone is going to be fussy for style.  The design 
of the library is rather antiquated anyway.

[Libofx-devel] Build on 64-bit Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10

[Mister R. <end...@gm...>]

I recently had to get libofx built on ubuntu karmic koala. I had a
number of errors in different source files related to missing header
#includes. I fixed them and got it building - it was mostly related to
undefined C functions. I've attached the patch - hopefully it'll help
someone in the future.

[Libofx-devel] libofx changes

[Yuri R <yu...@gm...>]

Hello,

I've made some changes to libofx-0.9.1.tar.gz in order to process OFX files
from my financial institution and would like someone who is actively working
on the library to review them.  I tried to contact Benoit several times at
bo...@st... without success.   Please little r me and I'll be glad
to send you a patch.

Thank you,

[Libofx-devel] ofxconnect

[Rick G. <ri...@al...>]

I am trying to evaluate the Direct Connect functionality in libofx.  I tries building it from scratch at which point I realized that I needed OpenSP.  So then I thought to look in MacPorts to see if it was there.  Sure enough it was.  And it created the ofx2qif and ofxdump commands.  But no ofxconnect.  So I went back to try to compile from source but couldn't figure out what flags configure wanted to tell it to use the opensp that macports had built.  Does it not compile ofxconnect from scratch?  I could modify the macport port file to get it to build ofxconnect but I'm not sure what I would need to do to get that to happen.

Is this the right list to be sending a problem such as this?

Thanks,

Rick

Not without creating missing information. Most notably, ofx  
transactions have a unique ID. qif transactions do not. So you'd have  
to decide how you wanted to create the IDs. They only have to be  
unique per account, but how will you ensure that you know which  
account is which over time?

I'm pretty sure there are other impediments, but the missing IDs are  
an issue.

Re: [Libofx-devel] python wrapper?

[idm <ian...@gm...>]

Any progress on this project?  Have you looked into SWIG for generating this
wrapper?  I was looking into this last night, but I've never used SWIG
before and I don't know how easy it is to wrap the many structs that appear
in libofx.h.  My suspicion is that it will save you time, and I expect the C
file generated by SWIG will be portable (so it can be bundled with your
module).

At any rate, I'm interested to hear more.

[Libofx-devel] Is it possible to create an OFX file using libOFX and how to ?

[<md...@fr...>]

Hi,

I would like to create an ofx file, but can find any good starting point to do this.
I mean a sample code (like ofx2qif) and a section in the documentation or a tutorial.

Thanks.

[Libofx-devel] python wrapper?

[Nick K. <ni...@ki...>]

I'd like to build a Python wrapper for libofx. The wrapper will be written in
C and will simply wrap each structure with a corresponding Python object with
fields of the same name. I'll also wrap the callback functions and load
function.

The module will be called "Ofx" and each class will be the same as their Ofx
container: Account, Statement, etc.

One wrinkle is the valid check - I will likely implement this such that if a
field is accessed that isn't valid, it throws an exception.

Comments? Suggestions? Is someone else building this?

Thanks.
