Bug#801979: gnome-shell-extension-weather: openweather api not responding: needs api key

[wim]

Package: gnome-shell-extension-weather
Version: 0~20140924.git7e28508-1
Severity: important

Hallo,

as found on
https://openweathermap.org/faq#error401
hence this shell extension doesnt work anymore,
unless u make an account and generate a key

the same site says:
for foss we could ask for key that is standard filled in,
so foss users of this extension wouldn't need to bother about this account

at present there is no real clue what a user should do,
so either a notice that u need to create an account or a general foss api key would fix this problem

mvg,
Wim
