commit 57cfff8085125b47a3107f1a9fc0eea56106f385
Author: Doug Torrance <dtorrance at piedmont.edu>
Date:   Sun Nov 13 10:03:02 2016 -0500

    Update metar data fetching URL.
    
    In accordance with NWS Service Change Notice 16-16 [1], the weather.noaa.gov
    service, which wmfrog uses to obtain weather information, was discontinued
    on August 3, 2016.
    
    However, the data is still available on the National Weather Service's FTP
    server [2].
    
    Patch by Bastien Mourgues <bastien.mourgues at free.fr>, reported in Debian
    bug #843873.
