Since the 3.0.0 just came up in the repo and messed up everything - this my last attempt to help this once wonderful addon, until a global solution for the situation is found.
http://pastebin.com/3XAgSFMu
Having to manually edit the addon.xml, repack the zip and then do a manual install every time you update the version in the repo will just not work for me and the large amount of deployed ATV2s I support.
I believe it will definitely piss all the users not rushing to update to every new nightly too.
I'm also concerned that there's a lack of regression/backward compatibility control on the XBMC repo - I was counting on that til now.
You could do us and your addon a little good and either set dharma/eden versions to the same revision and push them toghether from now, or try to come up with a better solution .. many people will thank you.

It's impossible to push both of dharma and eden versions to the same repo. It's the rule. I'm going to try to find a way to make it have backward compatibility.

That's why we left Dharma on using Extrafanart Downloader and moved on with Artwork Downloader for Eden. It was to much work to keep both supported.
@macf1an
Take your complaints up to the xbmc dev's. The Dharma and Eden repo may and will not be intermixed. That would cause even more problems than do good. Maybe in your case it would not but think of all other cases that would break it.
You could turn of auto-update to prevent problems and just do it manually. Maybe create a repo yourself where users will get their update from for this add-on (if that's ok with brightsr)
The same is for OPENELEC Dharma. That has newer python libs than XBMC Dharma. OPENELEC could probably run Eden versions but there is no way we can push that to repo without adding version check on what users are running.

@ Martijn:
You're right. That is what I wanted to say. You should be my English teacher.

What I suggested is temporarily setting both eden-pre and dharma versions to the same revision number thus not having to manually edit the archive. They would still be in their respective folders in the repo. That way everyone could manually download the dharma one and install it on their eden-pre without it autoupdating.
This doesn't change the fact that any dev pushing to the main repo can kill an addon for say half of the XBMC users if it relies on a brand new change/feature. And what would happen if that addon is a dependency used by more than one app...
anyway - brightsr has proven to be a skillful coder and as long as it's not too much hassle - a local workaround would be favour for all parties.

eden-pre version must be higher than dharma version. that's the rule.

I found a problem of dharma version. It doesn't convert temperatures of current weather. I fixed it and it'll work correctly in next release v.2.8.1 soon.
