Weather applet not working

[Michael-AU]

The weather applet isn't working as of yesterday afternoon. This is a Linux issues not just a MATE issue. I see Monsta has already made corrections but there are more possibilities if you choose to use them.

This comes from the Trinity (TDE) mailing list and contains a different url (http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/) to the one that Monsta patched that may be worthwhile adding as a backup.

Cheers.

Ah yes, I looked at that website. It's better as it has plain text files (less data to download and parse), but I found out it would require more changes to this legacy code... So, for a quick fix, I went with a simple patch with a drop-in replacement URL.

While I'm waiting for Debian to bring the update into Stretch what file do I need to change on my machines to suit the new url?

Rebuild libmateweather with this patch: 835055e

Thanks Monsta, so no easy slot the new lines in a file then.
