Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package libgweather [ Reason ] met.no (Norwegian Weather institute) asked libgweather upstream to set in the User-Agent the application that is actually doing the request to their service. The version of the library in bullseye do not have the needed patch We have backported almost all the functional patches from 3.36.2 already, so an alternative would be to just update to 3.36.2 [ Impact ] With out that patch met.no could consider that we are not following their TOS and could block our user to use their service. [ Tests ] gnome-weather still shows the weather information. I didn't test with an application not providing a .desktop file, but the code seems to take that case into account [ Risks ] The code is self contained and at worst the string "null" will be added the user agent. [ Checklist ] [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing unblock libgweather/3.36.1-3
