Comment 3 for bug 1162485

The issue is that the service used to get the location id (woeid) has been discontinued some months ago.

There is a new one:
http://developer.yahoo.com/geo/geoplanet/guide/api_docs.html#api_overview

But the access is restricted by an appid key and the one from the old service is not valid, whoever is maintaining indicator-weather should register for a new one and port the code to the new api there...

Is anyone wanting to work on that soon? Or should we get the source dropped from raring (no point to allow new installation if no location can be configured)...
