Bug#969747: next API change already fixed upstream
Hi,
I have to correct myself regarding
> However even 0.10.1-1 will stop working in a few months as it says
> 'Met.no LocationforecastLTS API states that this version

> xfce4-weather-plugin-0.10.0.tar.bz2'

Now XFCE is maintained elsewhere:
https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin
And someone claimed at upstream that there is already a patch to 0.10.1 that will allow plugin
to work after the coming API change = from 1.9 to 2.0 in panel-plugin/weather.h:
https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/-/issues/23
https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/-/issues/18
patch:
https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/-/commit/97601ab2ad1f9810516be6d3d91c5c9b16d6397a
I did not try it from my side as I don't know how to make a debian package from
upstream source.
Dear Maintainer,
May I ask you to kindly
- update Sid using latest '0.10.1' from trunk which is apparently more up to date than 0.10.1-1+b1 currently in sid ?
- update Buster ? as 0.8.10-1 is now useless as it uses an obsolete API and thus cannot get weather data anymore.
Thank you,
Franck Richter
