weather.noaa.gov closed down, weather app useless about libmateweather HOT 28 CLOSED

I really hope it's the last one. I wish I knew how to fix it properly when I first discovered the bug (on 24th Aug), then it would be just one release...

from libmateweather.

I can access NOAA weather at http://www.noaa.gov/weather but this does not solve the problem with the Mate Weather Report Applet. Also, LXDE is not having this problem.

from libmateweather.

LXDE might be using another provider. I know Gnome3's weather app defaults to the Norwegian Meteo service or something like that.

from libmateweather.

I know guys, they shut it down today or yesterday... I'm testing aviationweather.gov today, seems to work fine here: 835055e. Will test it a bit more and push to master and 1.14 branches.

from libmateweather.

Ok, commit pushed to master and 1.14, and version 1.14.1 is released.

@clefebvre @flexiondotorg @sunweaver @raveit65 @posophe @willysr
Please push it to your distros guys, this should fix clock & weather applet issue.

from libmateweather.

Thanks monsta. Do you know if this patch could be used for Gnome2, too?

from libmateweather.

Yes, you can patch the same file in libgweather 2.30:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgweather/tree/libgweather/weather-metar.c?h=gnome-2-30

from libmateweather.

Thanks monsta

from libmateweather.

I may be missing something but it appears that Fedora 24 has not updated
its versions of libgweather (Gnome) or libmateweather (Mate) and I can't
patch it on my own. Is this correct?

Thanks,

If you need the official update, you'll have to wait for @raveit65 (MATE maintainer for Fedora & RHEL 7) to push it to repos. Otherwise, I don't see any problems with applying the patch locally and rebuilding the package.

from libmateweather.

I am far from a Linux expert and I do appreciate whatever time you are
giving me. On my Fedora 24 system, I cannot find any file called
weather-metar.c which is the file that I believe you changed. I did try
to compile libmateweather which I downloaded from github but my system
said there is no configure file in the package. I also did try to
replace my old /usr/share/libmateweather with the new libmateweather
package from github but that didn't work. I then tried to replace the
folder /usr/share/libmateweather/ with the libmateweather folder within
the libmateweather package but that didn't work either. Any other
suggestions?

Here are some (untested) patched rpms for

Version 1.14.2 is released with new patch from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/770321.
The adapted patch is at c1b7189.

For distro versions that have previous MATE releases (1.12.0 and earlier) you can simply squash 835055e and c1b7189 into a single patch. Sorry about the mess. 😄

from libmateweather.

Has anyone had success patching libmateweather on Fedora 24? I cannot do it. I have tried everything I can think of. My mate-panel is currently version 1.14.2. The weather report applet is stuck at at 1.14.0 despite repeated attempts to update.

from libmateweather.

Check above for my Fedora 24 rpm

from libmateweather.

I did here's the error message.

Install the libmateweather-1.14.0-2.fc24.x86_64.rpm, not the src.rpm ... The srpm is if you want to rebuild it yourself.

from libmateweather.

Error notes are below but I am using an old 32 bit Thinkpad so I don't think the patch will install since it appears to be a 64 bit.

Oh.. 32bit. Didn't expect this. :)
You should find the 32bit package in the same location.

from libmateweather.

Thanks! This works. But there is still no forecast provided.

from libmateweather.

Forecast issue is related to another URL, and I only recently learned about it from #33. I can't test it in my location, it's simply not provided here (in Russia), so I'm currently waiting for @NuxRo to test the change I proposed there.

from libmateweather.

Thanks Monsta! Great work all the way around. I hope we can get that forecast issue resolved as well. I do reply on my mate weather-app quite a bit.

from libmateweather.

Ok, tried Monsta's suggestion in the other issue and built new packages, they're at the same location, you're interested in the 1.14.0-3.fc24 ones.
You might need to reload the applet or logout/login from MATE.

from libmateweather.

Thanks NuxRo and Monsta. Everything is working now. Amazing work. I hope it wasn't too much trouble.

from libmateweather.

@clefebvre @flexiondotorg @sunweaver @raveit65 @posophe @willysr
Version 1.14.3 is released with the forecast fix (see #33 for more info). Patch is at fc0d17c.

from libmateweather.

Is this the final fix or can we expect another release tomorrow?
I'm still wondering why we create 3 releases since 2016-08-24.

from libmateweather.

Better more bug fix releases that less or none.

Looks like you know how much time it cost to build a package for a distro with 4 branches ;)
