Bug#926534: libgps changed API of gps_read

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Package: aweather
Version: 0.8.1-1

Hi,
libgps changed the gps_read implementation in [0].
To be clear the change in gpsd is currently only in experimental. This
is a heads up for the post buster transition that will come sooner or
later.

Upstream aweather [1] seems to be rather static or dead. At least
there is no way to report the issue there as [2] is down.

The change isn't too hard and will be compatible with older versions
of gpsd. Therefore I'd appreciate if you could include this change in
when-/whatever the next upload to aweather will happen. I'll let the
gpsd maintainer know about the bug, so that we can consider it when
kicking off the transition.

I'll submit a salsa MP once I have the bug number to reference it.

OTOH - this package wasn't touched in quite some time, upstream seems
dead as well and popcon [3] (if you trust the data) is rather low - so
removal might be an option as well?.
