Description Brad Kittredge 2006-04-05 04:49:23 UTC 
Description of problem:  The gweather applet is not getting updated weather
forcasts for the Seattle, Wa area.  According to NOAA, the reporting locations
have been changed, and the new zone numbers are reflected on this map:


http://www.weather.gov/mirs/public/prods/maps/state_zone_washington.htm



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-applets-2.14.0-1.fc5


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Seattle, WA as location in gnome-weather applet
2. Select the "Forecast" tab
3. Forecast never changes 
  
Actual results:
The weather forcast has remained constant since February 28th, 2006.

Expected results:
A current forecast is displayed.

I can confirm the same results using gnome-applets-2.14.1-1.fc5.1
Comment 3 C.M. Connelly 2007-03-06 20:04:40 UTC 
Also a problem with RHEL 4 (and probably 3).
Comment 4 clifford snow 2007-05-14 03:31:57 UTC 
I reported this to bugzilla.gnome.org as bug #412823 on Feb. 2, 2007. 
The correct zone for Seattle, WA is WAZ508.  I verified the zone with NOAA in
Seattle.

In file /usr/share/gnome-applets/gweather/Locations.xml
The seattle <zone> should be changed to WAZ508 to fix the forecast.

This same bug is in FC6 and F7 test 4 as well.

Adding to update tracker since this one is trivial to fix.  Thanks for doing the
ground work, Clifford.
Comment 6 clifford snow 2007-11-20 21:43:29 UTC 
This is still a bug in FC8.  I will attached an updated Locations.xml with the
Seattle fix included.
Comment 7 clifford snow 2007-11-20 21:47:24 UTC 
Created attachment 265411 [details]
Locations.xml contains data for the gnome weather applet

Updated /usr/share/gnome-applets/gweather/Locations.xml with the correct
Seattle, WA zone information which provides the weather forecast.

Hi,

We no longer support Fedora Core 5 and I am currently trying to get my open bug
count down to a more manageable state.  I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX.
 If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on
a supported version of Fedora and reopening?

(this is a mass message)
