Bug#984669: xfce4-goodies: xfce4-weather-plugin is broken and is unmaintained upstream
Package: xfce4-goodies
Version: 4.12.6
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
The xfce4-weather-plugin is broken after an API change at the National
Weather Service. This API change was noted with a deprecation message that
showed up in the program for several years before it finally broke maybe
6 months ago.
The issue has been reported upstream several times by others. There have been
no updates to the plugin upstream for 6 years now, so I believe it to be
unmaintained and abandoned. I am requesting that the xfce4-weather-plugin
be removed or disabled for the time being.
Thank you
