<div>Ralf, I have read about the ktoblzcheck project and
successfully build the project from source. I have also tested
its command line utility to see how it actually works. But I
have a few questions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Inside the ktoblzcheck source tree, under bankdata
directory, I see multiple bankdata and blzcheck files. Why
does bankdata.py generates multiple output<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>ktoblzcheck supports multiple bank data files because bank data
can have a limited life time and ktoblzcheck supports reading
multiple bank data files.</p>
<p>When migrating to a sqlite database, this support should also be
migrated by adding from/to date columns that specify the valid
date range. For example, if a bank is included in the current
SQLLite database and not in the file being imported, it should be
marked as unavailable from the current date. If a bank is not
contained in the sqlite database but in the current blz file, it
should be marked as available from today. If there is no from/to
entry in the database for a specific bank, it is available without
restrictions.<br>

<div>2. This project is not hosted over github, so how do we
submit the revisions (Pull Requests)? <br>
Through mail?</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p> Because for historical reasons the project is hosted at sf.net.
<br>
</p>
<p>It provides merge requests by forking the ktoblzcheck git repo
similar to github and then you can create a merge request from the
personal repo.</p>
<p>It might be possible to migrate the project to the KDE
infrastructure (invent.kde.org, websites) as part of the GSOC
project, but it would have to be considered if this makes sense,
as this project is intended for KDE projects like KMyMoney,
Skrooge, but also for non-KDE projects like GnuCash, aqbanking and
others.</p>
<p>One example: I can imagine to make the SQLite database available
online in the future. KDE uses the KDE Store for this purpose, but
as far as I know at the moment it only provides a KDE based API (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://api.kde.org/frameworks/knewstuff/html/">https://api.kde.org/frameworks/knewstuff/html/</a>),
which excludes other projects like aqbanking, because this project
uses a standard c++ implementation and only optionally includes
Qt.<br>

<div>I understood most of the things.</div>
<div>1. We need to generate SQLite DB from the bankdata
text file.</div>
<div>2. Use that DB in the calling API and command line

<div>3. Write the unit-tests and documentation.</div>

<div>But I have a couple of questions. </div>
<div>1. These changes would be done in kmymonkey or

This should be moved to ktoblzcheck and could be used as

See <a href="http://ktoblzcheck.sourceforge.net/"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://ktoblzcheck.sourceforge.net/</a>
for informations about the<br>
project. The actual gsoc project covers:<br>
<br>
1. integrate generating sqlite database from<br>
<a
href="https://cgit.kde.org/kmymoney.git/tree/kmymoney/plugins/ibanbicdata/germany?h=4.8"

moz-do-not-send="true">https://cgit.kde.org/kmymoney.git/tree/kmymoney/plugins/ibanbicdata/germany?h=4.8</a><br>
<br>
<br>
2. replace the code, which uses the bank data text
file with code that<br>
uses the new sqlite database<br>
<br>
3. write/refactor unit tests for the new code<br>
<br>
4. It may required to refactor/simplify the cmake
build system while<br>
working on it<br>
<br>
5. add additional countries to the generated sqlite
database (see<br>
<a
href="https://cgit.kde.org/kmymoney.git/tree/kmymoney/plugins/ibanbicdata?h=4.8"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://cgit.kde.org/kmymoney.git/tree/kmymoney/plugins/ibanbicdata?h=4.8</a>)<br>
<br>
6. extend ktoblzcheck code to use the additional
countries<br>
<br>
7. write/refactor unit tests for the new code<br>
<br>
8. update ktoblzcheck documentation<br>
