Incorrect sunrise, sunset reported

[Aurimas Fišeras]

I chose a location - Vilnius, Lithuania, Europe.
Every other parameter looks to be right, except sunrise and sunset. They are off by 15-20 minutes.

In comparison, Gnome weather applet reports correct sunrise and sunset times for this location.

Ubuntu Natty
11.02.13+repack-0ubuntu1 (indicator-weather)

We're using Earthtools.org to determine sunset/sunrise time - please, check that the reported time is correct (Civil column).

Anyway, we are going to use GWeather data when Gnome 3 will be released and python bindings will be available

These times are correct:
<sunrise>07:28:06</sunrise>
<sunset>17:37:59</sunset>

What does "civil sunrise/sunset" mean and why it is used?

Thanks, now it makes clear for me.
As stated at http://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?s=1e4d3cd3292e1beee2d5bbab678cdbd9&showtopic=25513&view=findpost&p=564431 - "civil twilight is when the centre of the sun is 6 degrees below the horizontal plane"

I guess, civil twilight value should be used in night/day calculation, but correct sunrise/sunset values should be displayed in sunset/sunrise labels

Now we are using correct sunset/sunrise values. A stable version with several patches will be released this weekend
