Indicator-weather is in the "technical items" in Software Center

[François Tissandier]

Binary package hint: indicator-weather

I was looking for an indicator applet to show the weather in my Natty. I looked for "weather" in the software center, but didn't find anything. I had to search online, to see that the "indicator-weather" package was what I was looking for. I finally found it in the Software center, but i had to display the technical items to find it. Do you really think it's a technical item ? I think it should be easy to find & install.

The screenshot attached above shows the results for a "weather" in software-center. The don't seem particularly helpful.

Is there anything that indicator-weather can do on its end? It ships a desktop file in /usr/share/applications so it shouldn't be hidden under technical items.

This is not software-center's fault, but app-install-data-ubuntu's fault, as the indicator-weather.desktop file did not get included in the natty versions of that package. Now the fix should already be available in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Oneiric Ocelot.
If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
