Package: xfce4-equake-plugin
Version: 1.3.8-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

The 1.3.8-1 version of xfce4-equake-plugin uses unencrypted http to download data from the USGS website. The USGS website has migrated since 03-01-2017 to only offer https access (see also https://https.cio.gov). This means that from that date the equake plugin will not be able to download data. I have released upstream version 1.3.8.1 to fix this problem, I will submit an updated debian package with this new upstream release to mentors.debian.net. Assuming that is the correct way to do this.
