Bug#857118: unblock: xfce4-equake-plugin/1.3.8-1



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: serious
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package xfce4-equake-plugin

Please see related bugs: 856774 and 856827

I gave it severity "serious" since I assume it should reflect the severity of 
the initial bug, please change as appropriate.

I initially programmed xfce4-equake-plugin to use unencrypted http access to the
USGS site to download earthquake data (from simple CSV ascii files). However 
USGS has moved to encrypted access only, this change was announced mid February 
2017 to take effect March 1 2017.

This means the xfce4-equake-plugin as it is right now will not be able to 
download data. Other functionality is unaffected, but since it can not download
data it will not be displaying any additional information in the xfce4 panel. 
Just like a weather plugin which stopped showing the weather.

I have created a fix that will alow it to use encrypted https access. It uses 
libcurl for that and attached a debdiff.

Thank you for your consideration.
