The weather.com XOAP API key used by the xfce weather plugin has expired. The plugin keeps showing "No data".
The real problem is that weather.com is cancelling its free service. The plugin authors now want to rewrite the plugin to use a different provider. A different API key obtained from another open source project can keep the plugin working for now. See for details: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8105 Should we apply this patch? I don't know if this breaks weather.com terms of use. I don't care for my own personal use. But I don't know if committing this to the CVS repository is ok. The alternative is to mark the package BROKEN until upstream releases a new release which uses a free provider. We can always point people to this patch in the list archives if they need it. Thoughts?
