Bug#660693: pu: package xfce4-weather-plugin/0.7.3-3+b1

[Yves-Alexis Perez]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.d...@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu

Hi SRT,

I'd like to push an update for xfce4-weather-plugin, to fix #647749.
Short summary is that the license key for the XOAP webservice doesn't
work anymore, but changing the key, while not beeing the perfect
solution, works for now.

The exact same fix is in testing, debdiff is attached.

Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,

(Out of curiosity: any risks it gets updated again tomorrow, next week,
next month? :/)

Please use 0.7.3-3+squeeze1 instead (sorts higher than the previous
binNMU, and matches current pratice). Also please don't upload to
UNRELEASED. ;)

Looks good otherwise, please go ahead once that fixed.

Mraw,

Unfortunately, yes. Though if it becomes a game of cats & mouses I think
it won't really be a sustainable solution and we'll have to take other
measures. A rewrite is currently ongoing to use other, more free
services, but it's at slow pace and it's not really conceivable for
Squeeze. So if it happens again, the solution might be to remove the
package from Squeeze, unfortunately.

We never know, feel free to ask us if you manage to come to a more
suitable solution, even if a bit intrusive.

Flagged for acceptance, thanks.
