Description TrackerChamp 2014-02-19 19:25:24 UTC

The stable version of package Finance-Quote Version 1.17 is now 5 years old and no longer functional as a lot of the websites it gets stock quotes have changed their layout. 
Gnucash 2.6 requires at least 1.18 (from 2012) which is available as ~amd64 but does not seem to work well with current perl 5.16.3 as there are a lot of warnings about non-initialized variables.  

Please at least stabilize 1.18 or better yet upgrade to the newly released 1.20 (see http://finance-quote.sourceforge.net/ ) which works well from CPAN on perl 5.16.3 but not from portage...

Thanks.

Finance-Quote 1.18 has problems with Yahoo quote retrieval
(http://finance-quote.sourceforge.net/index.html).

So, at least version 1.19 (just tested) needs to be stabilized.
