This is quite OK. What I mean is that you have the
entries hardcoded
in those files and not generated by the same source. This leads to
problems like the one we have that someone should update all the
files if something changes. It would be better if we generate all
those files from the same source.
If there is such one. And if you have the programmatic framework to
automise that. But maybe it's in the source repo already, IDK.
I rather got the impression that stations.dat is a collection of
individual data but I could be wrong. It's easy to edit. I changed some
of the "ue"s, "oe"s and "ae"s to real german umlauts and it
seems to
work. As easy would it be possible to add or delete entries.
I also noticed other duplicates in the code and
despite I am not a
professional C++ developer, I still had to shake my head.
I was thinking there should be one service and library doing all the
work, no?
Well, yeah, I mean probably! :-)
But, hey, I only learned two hours ago that there are (at least) two
different things: kweather, the service, and weather_applet which runs
in kicker. And in the help pages for Kweather other applications are
mentioned to use the data the daemon retrieves and provides…
