Comment(by stuartm):
We don't want this information, or any other script data in the database
since the ultimate goal for mythweather (mythvideo etc) is for these data
fetching scripts to be stored on the mythtv.org website and for
mythfrontend to downloaded updated copies as they become available.
The problem with the old mythweather was that any small changes on the
source websites required a new point release of MythTV. This new scheme
changes that, updated/modified scripts and data files can be dropped into
the scripts directory and become automatically available to MythWeather.
If you start storing this information in the database it complicates that
process and IMHO makes it harder, not easier for users to run modified or
custom mythweather scripts.
If the grabber currently in use (NWS) doesn't contain what you want, then
write a new one, or modify the existing one but give it a new name. This
will prevent updates from overwriting your changes. If you think your new
grabber is an improvement, or would be useful for others then you can make
it publicly available or even submit it for inclusion in SVN if it doesn't
violate any terms of use or copyright.
