GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 507371
India locations
Last modified: 2009-12-19 01:42:15 UTC
Please describe the problem: Two cities 1. Pune , Country : India 2. Bolingbrook, Country : USA, State : Illinois (IL) Please add them to weather report applet Steps to reproduce: 1. by trying again 2. 3. Actual results: City is not listed in weather applet > Preferences> Location> Asia> India...Pune(poona) is missing City is not listed in weather applet > Preferences> Location> North America > Unites States > Illinois...Bolingbrook is missing and many other major cities Expected results: Cities should be listed so that weather report will be seen Does this happen every time? YES Other information: Radar Map is not shown for Bombay/Santacruz in Asia/ India in weather report panel applet 2.20.0
This bug is not related to Deskbar-Applet. Reassigning to gnome-applets team.
Bolingbrook has 70,000 inhabitants. if we added every village like this, you would probably have 5GB less space on your harddisk. interested? ;-)
Well for me I am interested but this is not desirable. Well Pune is not a village why would that not be listed and other small cities in India have been listed I would call them villages compared to Pune ;) there should be some mechanism if possible to let users search and add their city and code in database using Gui instead of adding the cities manually in file using editor. now that Linux + gnome being spread so much (in villages too) people definitely want to have such a nice applet in their task bar . but they will use it only if their city is listed in it. Thank you
Moving libgweather-specific bugs out of gweather-applet
Pune should certainly be listed. See http://live.gnome.org/LibGWeather/ImprovingLocations to learn how to provide the information needed to improve libgweather's coverage of locations in India.

Created attachment 124540 [details] Added Pune/India City in this file and compresed Please make any corrections if required, added Pune/India
Upendra: errr... No. Please provide a patch just listing the changes you've done, instead of a huge file. Thanks. :)

Bug 572839 (which was merged into this has a patch for Bangalore)
Hey Uprenda, could you please follow instructions on http://live.gnome.org/LibGWeather/ImprovingLocations, attach a patch and reopen this bugreport? Thanks in advance!
Hi Tobias, I am really not able to understand the instructions to create the patch( you can call me stupid :)), Sorry I have chosen now a city around Pune -> Mumbai which is quite okay.
Created attachment 143167 [details] Added pune in Major Cities
Please provide a patch only, instead of a complete file. Thanks.
IN 18.31 73.55 2 Pune
That's not a patch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_(computing)
I am not interested in creating any patches. Also not interested in learning in what is a patch. leave this alone and close this bug for life time Thanks
Created attachment 148382 [details] [review] Additional locations for India I'd like to resurrect this, with the attached patch containing Bangalore, Kozhikode and Pune.
Why is this marked incomplete? Also, I strongly feel that small places are being added at the cost of larger cities. I do not know their populations, but these "cities" are definitely not major cities: Benares Tiruchchirappalli These cities are well larger and more "major" than the above and are currently not on the list: Bangalore Pune Kanpur The following cities' names have been changed and the new names are being used more than their old names: (Old -> New) Bombay -> Mumbai Calcutta -> Kolkata Madras -> Chennai Although there have been many other name changes, the three above have been adopted more widely. (e.g. Bengaluru [new] is still widely referred to as Bangalore, although Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai are used very often)
re: comment #18: Thanks! The station code for Kozhikode isn't recognized by the NOAA site and the city isn't listed but I can pull the others in. re: comment #19: I'm not sure why this bug marked as 'incomplete'. I suspect it may have occurred during the earlier comments. I'm just coming on board to this and don't have the ability to recategorize bugs yet. Wikipedia tells me that the population of Benares (Varanasi) is 3.1M and Tiruchchirappalli is 1.1M. As for the other city names: I don't believe that libgweather currently has the ability to support multiple names for an individual city; I'll see if and how this can be accomplished. I'm hesitant to just go in and change the names since we're trying to get away from the maintenance monster know as Locations.xml.in and there's some bugs suggesting alternatives.
Alright, but I it should be noted somewhere that the names have been changed. These names are pretty outdated. Also, Wikipedia has a list of the most populous Indian cities : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_populous_cities_in_India Tiruchchirappalli isn't on that list and Varanasi is down in 28 (while Bangalore is No. 3 and Pune No. 8). I see no reason that Bangalore and Pune shouldn't be on the list. Also, I'm pretty sure (my impression, given the cities' "images"), Bangalore and Pune are likely to have the highest number of GNOME users in the whole of India. Following is likely evidence: (Cities in the following page) http://www.google.com/trends?q=Linux&geo=ind&sa=N (Cities in the following page) http://www.google.com/trends?q=GNOME&ctab=0&geo=in&date=all&sort=0 (Cities in the following page) http://www.google.com/trends?q=open+source&geo=ind&sa=N To prove my point, Bangalore and Pune are in the top three on all of these trends. They've got to be the most important cities for GNOME in India, you CANNOT have ONLY THEM not list! I cannot understand how Benaras and Tiruchchirappalli got themselves into the list.
Created attachment 149175 [details] [review] Additional Locations for India, modified Thanks for the attention! For some reason, I didn't receive any of the follow-up comments. Attaching a new patch adding Bangalore, Kochi and Pune.
Thanks again... this will be part of 2.29.4 in a few weeks.
This should be marked as resolved complete, right?
As of today, I don't see this change in the libgweather git. Once it is there, this can be closed.
Reopening as per comment 23
André: when is the correct time for me to change the state? When I check it in (a few minutes ago) or as I'm preparing the 2.29.4 image?
Thanks a ton, Frank! I believe we can close the bug, once it is in master?
(In reply to comment #27) > André: when is the correct time for me to change the state? When I check it in > (a few minutes ago) or as I'm preparing the 2.29.4 image? When having it checked it, but you broke the string freeze with your commit, as libgweather does not have a "gnome-2-28" branch yet. Please either revert, or branch with the commit before this. See http://live.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner/
Frank, do you have a usable address? frank@src.gnome.org is refused by the eazel.com mail server and solensky.org is parked :-/
comment #29: aw nuts, sorry... I'll set the branch point to just before the phase-of-moon support was checked in. comment #30: I'll send it to you directly.
