Package: flightgear Version: 1:2018.3.2+dfsg-2 Dear maintainers,
Very recently, noaa.gov switched to https, which makes flightgear unable to download METAR data, thus unable to provide 'live' weather conditions for the simulation. I have created a merge request on salsa [1] with a possible, albeit not ideal, solution to the problem. Since this is about a hardcoded URL in the source, which might potentially require rebuilds, and since we are close to the freeze for buster, I decided to share this with you sooner than later, so that you have more time to evaluate. (as noted in the merge request, the flightgear forum has suggestions of fixes that do not require a rebuild, but I haven't checked that they actually work. I did check that the merge request fixes the problem) [1] https://salsa.debian.org/debian/flightgear/merge_requests/1
