Public bug reported:

Availability
============
Co-maintained with Debian GNOME. We would be in sync except that the Debian 
GNOME team is targeting GNOOME 3.26 and skipping GNOME 3.24.

Built for all supported architectures.

Rationale
=========
It is a simple standalone app to show the weather.

If installed, it adds the weather status to the clock menu in GNOME
Shell. (This was introduced in GNOME 3.24 and is available in Ubuntu
17.04.)

The app optionally uses GNOME's geolocation services powered by geoclue.
This can be enabled or disabled from GNOME Settings>Privacy>Location
Services. GNOME shows an indicator in the right of the top bar when
Location Services is in use.

Security
========
No known security issues

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/gnome-weather
https://launchpad.net/gnome-weather/+cve

Uses gjs/mozjs which the Ubuntu Security Team reluctantly accepted into main 
for gnome-shell
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#mozjs

Quality assurance
=================
- The Ubuntu Desktop bugs team will need to subscribe to this package

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-weather
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=gnome-weather
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3A"gnome-weather";

No upstream tests or autopkgtests.

Dependencies
============
No universe binary dependencies

Standards compliance
====================
3.9.8

Maintenance
===========
- Actively developed upstream. Last release was 3.24.0 in MArch.
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-weather/log

Debian packaging uses svn, but we're hoping to convert to git this year (which 
will allow for Ubuntu branches):
https://sources.debian.net/src/gnome-weather/unstable/debian/

(Note that that the Ubuntu package is 3.24.0)
