https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D212693 Bug ID: 212693 Summary: misc/gkrellweather2: GrabWeather - default source URL for decoded METAR data sets has been shut down Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: etteldor@gmail.com Created attachment 174788 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D174788&action= =3Dedit METAR source URL patch Overview: The GrabWeather script fetches decoded METAR data by default from http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/decoded The METAR service on weather.noaa.gov has been shut down as of August 3rd, = 2016 [1], causing GrabWeather to fail, which in turn renders gkrellweather unusa= ble. Actual Results: Running GrabWeather <station id> doesn't update ${HOME}/.wmWeatherReports/<station id>.[TXT|dat] any more. Weather data in gkrellweather isn't updated. Expected Results: After calling GrabWeather <station id>, the files ${HOME}/.wmWeatherReports/<station id>.[TXT|dat] should be updated with the latest METAR data. gkrellweather should display the latest available weather data based on the fetched file. Additional Information: For raw data, NOAA suggests fetching data from tgftp.nws.noaa.gov. The same source also provides decoded data sets under the URL http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/decoded The file format of the decoded data didn't change, this URL can be used as a direct replacement for the old one.
