OpenWeatherMapProvider for CyanogenMod 13
=========================================

I don’t understand. `CyanogenMod 13`_ introduced new Weather
widget and lock screen support. Great! Unfortunately, the widget
requires specific providers for weather services and CM does not
provide any in the default installation. There exists `Weather
Underground`_ provider, which works, but only other provider
I found (`Yahoo! Weather provider`_) does not work with my CM
without Google Play!.

I would a way prefer OpenWeatherMap_ provider, but although
CyanogenMod has the GitHub repository for one_ , but no APK
anywhere (and certainly not one for F-Droid). Fortunately, I have
found a blogpost_ which describes how simple it is build the APK
from the given code. Unfortunately, author did not provide APK on
his site. I am not sure, whether there is not some hook, but here
is mine_.
