Bug#843873: wmfrog: Obsolete URLs in metar data fetching

[Bastien Mourgues]

Package: wmfrog
Version: 0.3.1+git20140909-1
Severity: normal


Hello,

wmfrog is no more functioning because of discontinued service on URLs
used to get metar data in /usr/lib/wmfrog/weather.pl

This data can now be fetched from this URL :
$ftp="ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/${station}.TXT";

and changing $mode from "http" to "ftp" in weather.pl

Hope this might help, sorry for my poor writing 
Thank you
