Okay, so I've been following this thread with some interest, because of late I
can't use any decent weather pages online. (The only decent pages block me
for using Tor.) I used to depend on https://forecast.weather.gov/ and before
that, Weather Underground, but they have both turned to crap.
When I try to use kweather-trinity, even after I load my preferred locations
and update, etc., all I get is a big question mark. When I click to "show
report", I am informed that the network is offline. But it is not true! I can
send and receive emails, surf the web, download, upload, all that good stuff.
If I were to guess, it might be that I've never got tdenetworkmanager to work
properly. It worked so-so with Debian/Devuan Jessie, but about half the time
I had to fall back on wicd. Since upgrading to Devuan Beowulf,
tdenetworkmanager has never worked for me (it won't accept login credentials
for my in-house wifi); so I've used wicd exclusively. But it works fine, and
I can live without TDE in a few things, if I must.
So do I have to dig into the guts of kweather to change something, or should I
look elsewhere?

Yes, I like it, too!
Wouldn't it make sense to merge them into
one? Should I file a bug?
With which severity, "wishlist"?!
yeah, this is why I mentioned the code is stupid ... there are
duplications and a kind of spaghetti all over the place, but this is
working as it is and no one had the time to rework it. What I like
particularly in kweather, that it shows the wind chill. In
KDE/Sailfish they use other source that does not do this. I would suggest file two bugs for kweather. One
for the issue and the
resolution: You mentioned Berlin-Tegel etc does not exist, so we want
to replace it in the weather_stations.desktop file with
Berlin-Schoenefeld.
I think you're mixing up two things here. Firstly, Berlin-Tegel is in
the database (as still is Berlin-Tempelhof; shut down ~2009), but the
airport was shut down Nov 8 2020. Berlin-Sch�nefeld is also in the
database already. Secondly, the database is not
weather_stations.desktop but stations.dat, which of course could use
some care.
The other might be wish-list or improvement
describing the
duplication and aiming to rework the code. Most of all I wish all
these have one and same source (i.e. stations.dat or whatever) is
used to generate the files automatically.
See Sl�veks answer to this.
Cheers,
