weather program not working anymore
Using Debian Squeeze. In my .weatherrc, I have the following stanza [home] City = Newark Forecast = True ID = KEWR St = NJ However, if I do $weather home weather: error: failed to retrieve http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/forecasts/city/nj/newark.txt HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found It used to work before. But the website seems to be broken now. Does anyone know of a fix? $dpkg -l weather-util ii weather-util1.5-1 command-line tool to obtain weather conditions and forecasts thanks -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I just had a look at the Weather homepage: http://fungi.yuggoth.org/weather/ and it looks like the format of the request and data has changed. There is a partial fix on that page, and a new version of Weather is being worked on. No idea when that might filter into Debian, if it makes it into Squeeze at all. Looks like you have to specify location by state zone number, rather than city. Hope that helps a bit. -- Dom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Seems to qualify for squeeze-updates, if the code changes are not too intrusive. Of course, someone has to package the new version first ;) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic signature.asc Description: Digital signature
