hi all, if you use gnome and have wondered how to make the gnome weather applet show weather conditions and temperature here in the philippines, the default setup provides no way to do that.
i have no idea who to submit this patch to, but since we're the ones who will find this most useful, i'm posting it here. here's a diff i hacked up to allow gnome weather to show Manila, Masbate and Subic Bay. the data is taken from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service (http://nws.noaa.gov) so those are the only sites that i could find data for. don't ask me what the letters and dashes mean. i just figured out that they need to be there. i am too lazy to read the source. ;) here's the unified diff. have fun. --- /usr/share/gweather/Locations.bak Wed Jan 29 04:15:57 2003 +++ /usr/share/gweather/Locations Wed Jan 29 18:49:57 2003 @@ -2373,7 +2373,7 @@ [AS] name=Asia -states=CN HK IN JP KR KP PK SG TW VN +states=CN HK IN JP KR KP PK SG TW VN PH [AS_VN] name=Viet Nam @@ -2381,6 +2381,11 @@ loc=Ha\\ Noi VVNB ------ --- loc=Ho\\ Chi\\ Minh VVTS ------ --- +[AS_PH] +name=Philippines +loc=Manila RPLL ----- --- +loc=Masbate RPVM ----- --- +loc=Subic\\ Bay RPLB ----- --- [AS_KR] name=Korea, Republic of loc0=Camp\\ Stanley/H-207 RKSX ------ --- -- ___ _____________________________ eric pareja (xenos AT maharlika.upm.edu.ph) \e/ [ Philippine Linux Users' Group ] Linux User #8159 http://counter.li.org _v_ [ Python Power! ] [ Debian Rocks! ] [ Unwitty Saying Here! ] [] Software & \\\\/ Free the books! http://www.bookcrossing.com/referral/pusakat ] Freedom .\\/ http://www.livejournal.com/users/pusakat | www.upm.edu.ph/~xenos/weblog _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
