metarv - a weather report tool written in vala

metarv is a commandline program which provides weather informations from METAR codes.
the reason that it is written in vala is that i want to do something with vala, and it is really cool programming language.

url: http://github.com/b4283/metarv
aur: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42492

it might go well with conky, though i only use it as i type it

it is equipped with cache abilities so one could write update rules within cron.

bug reports are welcomed.

Re: metarv - a weather report tool written in vala

I had been using a little function in my bashrc to provide the weather, but this is far neater, and more well-featured. Thanks for sharing it.
