Plugin calls the incorrect API

[Terrance]

The xfce4-weather-plugin calls the incorrect api.

Old API:
https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecastlts/1.3/?lat=xx.xxxxxx&lon=-xxx.xxxxxx&msl=xxxx

From the site it gives this error message:
404 Not Found

Validation error

The specified version number is end-of-lifed for this product

New API:
https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecast/2.0/?lat=xx.xxxxxx&lon=-xxx.xxxxxx&altitude=xxxx

Please correct the code.

Thank you!

I actually did get mine working by modifying the source found here:

It looks like this issue has been fixed upstream several weeks ago. https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/-/issues/23

[Terrance (kato223)]

In the folder of https://archive.xfce.org/src/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/ the latest update shows a date of 23-Feb-2020. All versions in there do not have the correct fix in them. Just wondering where the correct fix is then.

[Terrance (kato223)]

Never mind, I found it. You will have to pull the git, then install it that way. This would be nice if they push this to the repos.

git clone https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin

The upstream bug https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/-/issues/27

[ajgreeny (ajg-charlbury)]

Solved by downloading the xfce4-weather-plugin.deb file from the PPA for xfce-4.16.
I extracted the libweather.so file from that package and replaced the file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libweather.so with this extracted newer version.

Works very well again.

Maintainer: please update the 20.04 focal repository with a working package.
