No weather report for Dunedin

[Andrew Pam]

When the Location tab of the Preferences menu is set to New Zealand/Dunedin in the Gnome Weather Applet (gweather), no weather reports are available. Other cities work.

Thanks for the report.

Could you provide some more information, please?

Which version of the gnome-applets package are you running? Do you know if the weather report has ever worked for this city?

Weather Report 2.12.1 from gnome-applets 2.12.1-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu 5.10.

No, I normally use Australia/Melbourne which works fine, and have tested
some other cities. I'm in Dunedin for linux.conf.au and wanted local
weather; it has not worked the entire time I've been here (since Monday
23 Jan 2006).

I can't get Dunedin to work either.

Australia -> NSW -> Williamtown has the same problem.
Same version of Weather Report (2.12.1).

There is also a similar upstream bug:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310805

I've set the status of this bug to confirmed.

I think only bigger cities are supported by gweather. There are lot of small cities not included in the list. For example Huszárokelőpusztaröcsögő-alsó, Hungary is not included. There is no point of reporting a bug for each one of them. You should choose the nearest city to your location.

[Andrew Pam (xanni)]

But Dunedin and Williamstown ARE included in the list. If they are not supported by gweather, then they should be removed from the list.

[Andrew Pam (xanni)]

Reason given for change to "Invalid" status was a misunderstanding of the bug report.

[Adam Niedling (krychek)]

I'm sorry. I'm checking the list right now and I see no Dunedin. Are you using the latest weather applet?

Yes, Ubuntu 6.06LTS.

6.06 must have an older version.. I'm using Hardy and there's no Dunedin. I can only find Dunkirk. So this is fixed in Hardy but you can leave this bug open if you'd like..

Locations.xml file is being reworked upstream.
