Please enable ofxdirectconnect backend.

[Matthew Mueller]

Binary package hint: libaqbanking16

I'd like to use the OFXDirectConnect backend with gnucash, as described here: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect_in_GnuCash_2

But even if GnuCash is compiled with aqbanking support, the aqofxconnect isn't available in Ubuntu.

I think it should be as simple as adding an item to the --with-backends line, some build-deps, and creating a new binary package for it.

libaqbanking (1.6.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Disable OFX backend due to license conflict
    (GPLed libofx agglomerated with OpenSSL in AqBanking)

See the referenced debian bug. There isn't much we can do from the MOTU side

That comment is flawed. Of gnucash links indirectly (via libaqbanking)
to OpenSSL without advertising it as required by the OpenSSL
license. Gnucash Upstream is unwilling to relicence (most probably
because they can't), so we have no choice other than hope that someone
joins aqbanking development to port it to GnuTLS.

New debian upstream release 3.0.1-1 fix this, I believe that we should merge it before Hardy hit stable.
