Bug#1019586: gnome-shell-extension-weather: Extension not compatible with libsoup3

[Amr Ibrahim]

Package: gnome-shell-extension-weather
Version: 0.0~git20210509.d714eb1-4
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Hello,

The extension broke after building gnome-shell 42.4-2 with libsoup3 in Debian
testing. It cannot fetch the weather data any more.

The extension's author has abandoned the project, and it was forked. The newer version includes libsoup3 support. I have created a gitlab repo with updated debian packaging as well as the updated upstream files. My update can be merged into the salsa version, although, not being a team member, I can't create a merge request. The updates I created are right here:

https://gitlab.com/bjsnider/gnome-shell-extension-weather

I installed this version from a deb and it works on testing. I imagine it will work with the dev version of Ubuntu as well.

Hi, the repo is now public. I don't see anywhere that I can apply for group membership, but I'm sure you can now figure out a way to merge my repo with the team.

Please do apply for a Salsa account. Once that account is approved,
you can submit merge requests.

Your gitlab.com profile is private so I can't access that repo.

Ubuntu removed most GNOME Shell extension from their repository:
