Description A. Galama 2016-08-25 11:04:06 UTC
Description of problem:
libmateweather uses the hard-coded URL http://weather.noaa.gov/mgetmetar.php to retrieve weather data. According to the homepage this service has been discontinued resulting in 404 Not Found.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libmateweather-1.14.0-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. grep MateWeather-WARNING /var/log/messages
2.
3.

URL should be updated, ideally configurable in a config file.

Comment 1 Jonathan Billings 2016-08-25 13:13:59 UTC
It looks like this has been fixed upstream:
https://github.com/mate-desktop/libmateweather/commit/835055e0d0b950d3f66ad236de7e40942f6f7d8e


... although it just replaces the NOAA URL with http://aviationweather.gov/metar/data, and it remains unconfigurable.

Patch from upstream to change the NOAA weather data URL to use aviationweather.gov

Taken from https://github.com/mate-desktop/libmateweather/commit/835055e0d0b950d3f66ad236de7e40942f6f7d8e

Tested it on Fedora 24, weather app now shows correct weather, but the IWIN data is still pointing at NOAA so there's no forecast.

What about Fedore 23 stable ? Shouldn't this bug be closed after libmateweather-1.14.2-1.fc23 is pushed too ?

Comment 18 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2016-09-07 11:48:04 UTC
Report is against f24 and not f23.
Btw. you only need to enable update-testing, install the update and leave karma at https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-bc42f233f9 to fasten the process.
