Title:
Weather Data for Dhaka, Bangladesh not updating regularly
Status in libgweather package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The METAR weather feed for Dhaka has been VGZR. However this feed has
not been reliably transmitting data recently. (see
http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/VGZR). Therefore up to date
weather data has not been showing in the desktop panel applet.
There is a more recent weather feed at VGHS which is at Dhaka Airport
(see http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/VGHS) and uses the new
name for the airport (i.e. Hazrat Shajahal Intl Airport not Zia Intl
Airport).
As a work-around I have updated the code used by the applet using
gconf, but this update will be lost whenever the information is
refreshed from /usr/share/libgweather/Locations.xml.
I believe you should add an entry for VGHS in the Locations.xml file
and make this the default for Dhaka.
I am still using Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS with libgweather 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
but I have inspected the Locations file in revision 47 in the Oneiric
branch and it also only has VGZR, not VGHS for Dhaka.
I am also emailing the maintainer of the weather stations list at
http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/surface/stations.txt to make the same
point as this is impact many sites delivering weather information from
METAR data.
