Description:
------------
This package uses the host ws.geonames.org whereas it should be using
the newer api.geonames.org. As of 17th Jan 2014, ws.geonames.org seems
to have been removed from DNS, causing the following exception to be
raised:

   Services_GeoNames_HTTPException: Unable to connect to
tcp://ws.geonames.org:80. Error: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo
failed: Name or service not known

The fix is to change:

   public $url = 'http://ws.geonames.org';

to this:

   public $url = 'http://api.geonames.org';

in Services/GeoNames.php

Just to note that although here
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/geonames/UmPdTGMHjrU the service
maintainers state that ws.geonames.org has been disabled, it now appears
to be resolving again.

This bug has been fixed in SVN.

If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net
by the end of next Sunday (CET).

If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should
be live shortly.

Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release.

Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
