Dear Maintainers, Weather data used in gnome-weather is extremely limited. Testing locations close to me in the UK only offers location around 100 miles away. The limited data makes gnome-weather unusable. Regards Phil
Control: reassign -1 src:libgweather4 Control: affects -1 src:gnome-weather The location data comes from libgweather. You could submit a merge request upstream to add the specific city you want; however it looks like libgweather upstream is undermaintained and there are a lot of merge requests waiting for review. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgweather Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
Hello, as Jeremy has mentioned, it should be brought to the upstream developers, because we only maintain packages and don't develop them ourselves. Here are the link for gnome-weather and libgweather: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-weather https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgweather Please, report your expectations here. Thanks, Dawid Kulas
Dawid, This situation is supposed to be improved with the latest version of libgweather4 which needs a new package: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/libgweather-and-locations-for-gnome-50/31205 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gweather-locations https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gweather-locations Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
