Hello!  I am the developer and maintainer of aprs-weather-submit, an app that can be used by amateur radio operators and the Citizen Weather Observer Program to manually submit weather data to the global APRS network.  Most people send weather data automatically from smart device and won't need this.  However, those of us who only have non-smart devices can use this tool to contribute as well.

Weather data can be picked up by anyone with a radio tuned to your local APRS frequency, or viewed online at a site like https://APRS.fi (who is not affiliated with this project).

This project lives on GitHub at https://github.com/rhymeswithmogul/aprs-weather-submit.

I think it might belong in the media-radio category, only because I see other ham radio apps in there.  It could also go into net-misc, though its Internet functionality can be removed with the -aprs-is USE flag.

This is a simple app.  I have only tested it on my amd64 install, though the code is architecture-independent and it should run on any GNU-like platform.

This is my first time submitting an ebuild.  Please let me know if any changes are required.

Thank you for your contribution. I had a short look on the ebuild. 
Here a few ideas:

* Please test the ebuild with repoman full -d -x https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Repoman and pkgcheck
* Please remove obsolete (comment) lines

Thank you, Jonas.  I cleaned it up with a little help from the guys in #gentoo-dev-help.  How does it look now?
