[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#536289: xfce4-weather-plugin 0.6.2-1 fails to get the weather from weather.com

[doubleyou at loftmail.com (Graham)]

Package: xfce4-weather-plugin
Version: 0.6.2-1
Severity: grave

Over the last few days, the xfce4-weather-plugin has ceased to collect
the weather reports from xoap.weather.com, which renders the plugin
completely useless. According to the plugin's upstream page
(http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin),
the problem is that, "The folks at weather.com have upgraded their
platform in July 2009 to make the API key mandatory." They say that
version 0.6.3 and later will work fine with the demands of weather.com
(version 0.7.0 compiled from Unstable's deb-src works fine).
