Description

The GNOME 3.14 release notes read: “GNOME’s weather app has been redesigned for 3.14. The new version makes use of GNOME’s new geolocation framework to automatically show the weather for your current location”. We need to make sure, for Tails/Jessie, that this geolocation framework is disabled.

This feature is provided by a D-Bus service shipped in the geoclue-2.0 package, that we don’t install. I’ve made sure in commit 13cd55e that it doesn’t magically appears in the future.
