New weather service for *gnome-weather*
Previously, the *gnome-weather* application used the METAR services provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). However, NOAA stopped to provide the METAR service. This update introduces a new METAR service provided by the Aviation Weather Center (AWC) and *gnome-weather* now works as expected.

The same problem with weather-metar.c in libgweather-2.28.0-5.el6.src.rpm - but RH6 is using the broken http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl - not the broken http://weather.noaa.gov/mgetmetar.php from RH7. We need a modified patch. RH6: msg = soup_form_request_new ( "GET", "http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl", "cccc", loc->code, NULL); From RH7 patch: msg = soup_form_request_new ( - "GET", "http://weather.noaa.gov/mgetmetar.php", - "cccc", loc->code, Bug 1370961 - "noaa.gov change broke gnome-weather entirely - fix committed upstream" shoud be a duplicate? NOAA says on http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/notification/scn16-16wngccb.htm : "The NWS will eliminate the web service found at the following address effective August 3, 2016". * Feature: The METAR weather service that is used by the gnome-weather application was switched from the one provided by NOAA to www.aviationweather.gov. * Reason: NOAA stopped providing the METAR service. * Result: gnome-weather can show weather information again.
