Currently - the zone tag from Locations.xml is used within the weather-bom.c to retrieve information from the appropriate bom.gov.au URL which if successful is then parsed in the bom_parse function. With the new HTML forecast pages for various locations however, the data can not be successfully parsed and instead the message Forecast not currently available for this location. shows up on the Forecast tab of weather-applet. --- Area of Interest --- Within weather-bom.c - the following line of code points to URLs (depending on location) that now have HTML forecast data rather than plain text... url = g_strdup_printf (http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?%s.txt;, loc-zone + 1); --- Suggested Fix --- I suggest/propose that the URL above be changed to point to plain text documents on the BOM FTP server (ftp://ftp2.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/) with the appropriate weather station zone. e.g. for Sydney (Zone IDN10064) - currently the code would point to: http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDN10064.txt However this is now a HTML forecast, which causes the issue noted above... by pointing the code to: ftp://ftp2.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/IDN10064.txt The plain text forecast can be used without any modification to the other functions/aspects of the code. --- Patches - Untested! --- Please see the attached weather-bom.c which includes the suggested fix (i.e. patched version).

Excuse my noobness but I didn't think you could use this because Ubuntu 11.10 uses the Unity panel which doesn't have / can't add the weather applet.

I should mention that the above links are for the latest code i.e. what's shipped in Gnome 3.2, which currently has no support for applets so I don't think libgweather is being used at all.

Over 12 months now and a bug THAT HAS A WORKING PATCH AVAILABLE has still not been fixed. I just did a test install of Ubuntu 11.10 and the bug is still there, yet a dopey user like myself was previously able to use the patch files to fix the Australian only file which causes the problem - but the maintainers of this package cannot make this seemingly trivial change. Looks good when I show a Windows user how great Linux is and they ask why this bit doesn't work and I tell them that it was reported over 12 months ago - not!

Just confirming. After recompiling the libgweather source with the patch (weather-bom.c.patch), installed the deb package then moving the lib files to the correct directory (From /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib), this resolves the issue :). It's just a shame that a fix (patch) was created back in September why does it take so long to upstream it??

And to add to my previous whinge about how this patch could be of use to people in Australia, I certainly hope that none of the hundreds of thousands of people affected by the recent flash floods along the east coast here Ubuntu users trying to use this weather applet.

[Bug 629646] Re: Locations using bom.gov.au for forecast data no longer can no longer retrieve forecast data
While I can understand something like this being considered fairly trivial, I would like to point out to the developers that in my very location (Victoria, Australia) less than 2 years ago hundreds of people died here in bushfires, and some of that was because of a lack of information regarding weather conditions - so anything that provides up to date weather info is considered by us to have a bit more importance than perhaps it is in other locales.
