Would it be possible to upgrade dev-perl/Finance-Quote to version 1.20 or newer. Gnucash at present fails to get stock quotes. According to the WIKI (http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes), "In Feb 2014 Yahoo changed their URL. So F::Q 1.20 is required." According to http://search.cpan.org/dist/Finance-Quote/, the current version as of March 5th is 1.27. Reproducible: Always

So it would seem I was a little over-anxious, the latest source code I found was 1.26 (not 1.27 as I mentioned in the original report. That said, with the proposed ebuild I was able to install it and get GNUCASH v 2.6.1 to retrieve stock quotes again. Pretty much a copy of the existing ebuild, but there is now a dependency on Date-Calc.
