weather plugin broken again?

[Raphael Groner]

Hi Heiko,

I am not sure what you mean exactly with version 0.7.6, there's no such
release.

There's 0.7.4-6 in the development branch, maybe that version is the
case here.

Harald as the new developer [0] is working on an upstream patch [1] and
he is doing a very good job with that. But AFAIK, he would like to wait
with an official release including the patch to use the other forecast
service.

I can suggest you to use the sources from git [2] when you want to have
a working plugin. It works very well here on my (not-Fedora) system.

Please look at the upstream bug for more information.

Apropos: Fedora as downstream is *really* aware of that issue [3]. Just
using another licence key wouldn't solve the problem for the long term
[4].

I hope this is enough, but not too much, information to answer the
question and I can stop my mail here. The intention is to confuse not
more users, we seem to be all aware of the weather issue. :)

Best regards,
Raphael
