2016-11-27 20:19:03 Graham Inggs description All metar fetches are failing: $ metar LSZH METAR pattern not found in NOAA data. Requests for http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/stations/XXXX.TXT are now receiving a 302 redirect to http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/XXXX.TXT metar needs an updated METARURL, or to set CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION [Impact] * NOAA changed the URL for the service metar relies on to retrieve weather information * This has been fixed in 20061030.1-2.2 that is in YY and ZZ (LP: #1610210) but not yet in XX (16.04 LTS) and previous releases * justification: the metar program will not display any weather information anymore without the fix (complete functionality loss for users) * remedy: update URL in the source (it is hardcoded) (a work-around is to set the environment variable to the new URL METARURL=http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations) [Test Case] * install metar # 20061030.1-2ubuntu2 * metar FACT # metar information for Cape Town Airport (CPT) -> METAR pattern not found in NOAA data (correct would be something like: FACT 251000Z 18020KT CAVOK 22/13 Q1017 NOSIG) [Regression Potential] * just a hardcoded URL fix, no program change otherwise * works in Debian sid & testing, Ubuntu YY and ZZ [Other Info] * Stable upload in progress as well for next Debian Jessie point-release ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- All metar fetches are failing: $ metar LSZH METAR pattern not found in NOAA data.
