What do people use instead of the discontinued weather-indicator in 13.04?

Question

The weather-indicator package have been removed from Ubuntu 13.04 (it crashed all the time and did not display forecasts).

What is the replacement package?

Solution 1

Best is my-weather-indicator for atareo https://launchpad.net/~atareao/+archive/atareao

Solution 2

I've stepped in as maintainer of the Weather Indicator project, and just pushed a new release that fixes the Forecast issue and most (if not all) of the crash bugs.

Try it out: https://launchpad.net/~weather-indicator-team/+archive/ppa

Solution 3

I've found my-weather-indicator too buggy (displaying only N/A in 4-day forecasts, unable to use Yahoo Weather, etc.), and therefore decided (at least for now) to use ClearWeather instead, although it's not an indicator, but a screenlet, included in the screenlets-pack-all package.

UPDATE: The bugs mentioned above have been fixed as of version 0.6.4 (end May 2013) and therefore there's no more need to use more memory-hungry Screenlets daemon to merely display a couple of weather forecasts on desktop.
