The above mentioned comments aim at the statements of Martin Preuss and <br>
Ingo Klöckers and contain basic information on the topic.<br>
<br>

<br>
it will work.<br>
<br>

during the build and using that to update the DB locally?<br>
<br>
it works<br>
<br>
Martin Preuss suggested to use an online store for updating bank data <br>
from an installed application and Ingo Klöckers spoke about the <br>
disadvantage of being directly bound to an online retrieval of data <br>
without a local copy, which in any case requires an available online <br>
connection.<br>
<br>
In order to meet the above requirements, an additional subtask "Update <br>
of online banking data by an application" would have to be added, <br>
building on the planned implementation.<br>
<br>
This subtask consists of the creation of an API that allows applications <br>
to detect and download the availability of updated banking data and an <br>
extension of the CMake build system to upload generated bank files to an <br>
online store.<br>
<br>
All these things would basically be available with the KDE shop for the <br>
already mentioned financial applications, if the KDE shop did not have <br>
the described limitations (only available for QT/KDE, although <br>
ktoblzcheck currently does not contain a Qt dependency and no automated <br>
upload is possible)<br>
<br>
The better choice is therefore currently the file area of the <br>
ktoblzcheck project on <a href="http://sf.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">sf.net</a>, to which the generated files can be <br>
easily uploaded using scp.<br>
<br>
The API for this subtask would still have to be defined, but will <br>
basically have to include the following methods:<br>
1. initialization - definition of the online store URL and the location <br>
for the download<br>
2. checking whether updates are available<br>
3. downloading the updates<br>
<br>
Furthermore it would have to be clarified which library should be used <br>
for the download<br>
