Very Computer

In the weather section there is a list of different locations, but my
specific location is not part of the list. I have been trying to
figure out what is going on with this and how I could work to fix this
problem.

I checked out the config.xmldb and saw a lot of different values.
There was one for weather and it was just a string of numbers and a
letter, which I would have no idea what to do with.

I figure there must be some way of working on this short of modifying
the source, which I am sure I would be far from able to achomplish on
such a large program. Does anyone know how you could add a location to
the list to get it to display weather for my correct location.

# To add a city to be displayed in the weather:
...
# Select the city on the left hand column.

Not especially helpful....

It seems to be a list of locations and some strings, eg
loc41=Newcastle EGNT :RTPMS ---
so you can probably add your home town easily, so long as somebody is
providing a weather feed for it. And you can decipher what the "EGNT :RTPMS
---" means. apt-get source evolution. After lengthy searching with strace
......Find your city on weather.noaa.gov, that's what the "EGNT" is:
http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/EGNT.html,

have fun hacking!
