Description Ross Davis 2004-04-06 15:39:54 UTC
karamba-weather-0.3 is broken as you can read in this forum: 

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=147488



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge karamba-weather
2. gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/karamba-weather-0.3/README.gz | less
3. notice that the docs specify a URL that does not resolve

Actual Results:  
You cannot specify the appropriate config info in k_weather.py

Expected Results:  
The docs should be correct. Moreover, karamba-weather-0.3 is an old version, 
karamba-weather-0.6 appears to be more relevant. I attempted to install 0.6 
(even created an ebuild for it), but could not get it to work. As suggested in 
the forums, I d/l'ed liquid weather and it worked perfectly. Suggest removing 
karamba-weather from portage in favor of http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.

ebuild sent to -dev asking to ensure that the replacement is ok
Comment 2 Jonathan Smith (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-17 13:50:05 UTC
i'm going to go ahead and add LW to portage under x11-plugins
Comment 3 Jonathan Smith (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-26 12:47:56 UTC
actually, i changed my mind... take a look at
http://www.kde-look.org/help/index.php?type=38&PHPSESSID=256ecb8580028e74e2bcd7c93cd6a798

that website says that installing it is as simple as unpacking it. creating an
ebuild to do that is a waste of time, bandwidth on the rsync servers, and energy
when it breaks again. i am going to delete karamba-weather and mark this one
resolved
