Bug 560732

Description: 
This applet shows a departure / arrival board for a given stop. 
It can also show journeys to or from the given "home stop". 
It gets it's information by parsing HTML/XML files from the web. 
You can get data for public transport, trains, 
ferries and planes (using flight-stats.com).
It can be put into a panel and show the info in a pop up (Plasma::PopupApplet).
You can set alarms for journeys and filter out journeys by type of vehicle 
or targets / origins.


Supported Cities

The data engine currently supports the following cities/regions 
by using different service providers, that can be changed 
in the configuration dialog of the applet:

- Germany (using db.de, works for all cities and stops in Germany, 
  also works for cities in other countries in Europe)
- Switzerland (using sbb.ch, works for all cities and stops in Switzerland, 
  also works for cities in other countries in Europe)
- Austria (works for all cities in Austria)
- Belgium (works for some/all? cities in Belgium)
- Denmark (works for some/all? cities in Denmark)
- USA (works for Southeastern Pennsylvania)
- France (works for 168 stops in France, no local public transportation)
- Slovakia (works for many cities in Slovakia with static data*, 
  for Bratislava with dynamic data)
- Czech (static data*)
- Poland (static data*)

Static data: May contain journeys that actually don't run today. 
In the "journey news" field you can view additional information 
about the journey (e.g. "runs Mo-Fr") when you view the additional 
information of a journey (context menu or double click).

There are also some specialized accessors for German service providers. 
If "db.de" isn't working properly for you, you miss actual delay information 
for trams/buses/subways or you want the target/origin names to match 
the ones displayed on the vehicles (db.de appends the city name to it) 
you should try using one of the following. But mostly db.de works properly 
for all cities and it currently has the most features supported.

- Lower Saxony / Bremen
- Rhine-Main (this one uses an XML source, so the received data is smaller. 
  It also includes delays for all vehicles)
- Rhine-Neckar
- Saxony-Anhalt
- Stuttgart
- Berlin
- Dresden

Airports in the whole world are supported through flightstats.com.

It builds in mock.
Rpmlint spits out some warnings about spelling-errors in %description that cant be corrected.
