[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#862436: xfce4-weather-plugin: weather API 404

[Nathaniel Beaver]

Package: xfce4-weather-plugin
Version: 0.8.3-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

The met.no Web API is deprecated:

http://api.met.no/weatherapi/sunrise/1.0/?lat=0;lon=0;date=2017-05-12

The bug was reported in 2014 here:

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10916

It is already fixed in version 0.8.9-1, which is available in testing 
and unstable.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xfce4-weather-plugin

Is it possible the fix will be backported?

Sincerely,

Nathaniel Beaver
