-WHY?
-
-My girlfriend has a long commute to/from work and school, and
-often wants to check the weather both for home and her office.
-Unfortunately, starting a Web browser, pulling up a weather site,
-entering multiple ZIP codes and waiting for them to load is
-time-consuming for the marginally-impatient. Since she tends to
-stay logged into a shell server most of the time, I figured I'd
-install a quick command-line tool to retrieve weather info for
-her commute, but to my surprise, a quick search turned up little
-that met my basic requirements:
-
- * retrieve current data on-demand
- * provide both current conditions and short-term forecasts
- * simple, human-readable output
- * easy to configure and use
- * flexible command-line switches and options
-
-
-WHERE?
-
-A tarball for the most recent version of the weather utility can
-be had here:
-
- http://fungi.yuggoth.org/weather/src/
-
-Alternatively, Debian users can grab a pre-built DEB package
-here:
-
- http://fungi.yuggoth.org/weather/debian/
-
-...or add these lines for binary and, optionally, source packages
-to /etc/apt/sources.list:
-
- deb http://fungi.yuggoth.org/weather/debian ./
- deb-src http://fungi.yuggoth.org/weather/debian ./
-
-...then 'apt-get update && apt-get install weather-util' as root
-to get the current package installed and working.
