Currently xfce4-weather-plugin fetches its weather information from api.yr.no API endpoint and it is to be shut down on the 2016-09-05 [1]. A new replacement API endpoint api.met.no exists and the latest xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.8 uses it and HTTPS connection to improve security and privacy. 0.8.8 includes also lots of translation updates and only a few changes, some build time fixes and bug fixes reported to upstream bugzilla [2] [3], so I think it's fairly safe to update to the latest version.

Pushed xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.8. to core/updates_testing. Please test that it works after update and fetches weather data from https://api.met.no/. It's easily proved by checking ~/.xsession-errors after refreshing data via applet's right click menu.

I'll add requires for glib-networking to get TLS/SSL to work.
Thanks Jani, I've urpmi'd glib-networking, had to reboot (maybe re-login is enough?), all is well.
(In reply to Chris B from comment #4) > Thanks Jani, I've urpmi'd glib-networking, had to reboot (maybe re-login is > enough?), all is well. 'xfce4-panel -r' in terminal is enough.
Pushed xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.8-1.1 to core/updates_testing to fix missing requires for glib-networking.
