Bug#867727: RFS: parlatype/1.5.2-1 [ITP]

The only thing I spotted, was the lack of a docbase file to help people
fire up the docs locally:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dother.en.html#doc-base
Done. Added the doc-base file and put a symlink from
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/parlatype to /usr/share/doc/libparlatype-doc/html.
I looked how other packages are doing this and I found both install
locations: e.g. gtk installs docs in /usr/share/doc and symlinks to
/usr/share/gtk-doc but clutter for example does it the other way round,
installing in /usr/share/gtk-doc and symlinking to /usr/share/doc as I did.
Would you like to maintain this within the Debian Multimedia Team? If so:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/Join
and then follow the stuff in the Develop Packaging link there (to create
the git repository etc).
We can always do this before the next upload if you prefer. Just let me
know.
I'm not sure. I guess it would be better but at the moment I don't have
much time to learn a new workflow. Besides I probably wouldn't do much
work for other packages in the Multimedia Team. I'd prefer not to join
at the moment if that is possible.
Some minor things we can work on for next time:
1. Lintian complains about there being no upstream changelog. As you are
upstream, maybe you can fix this? It is a nice service to our users to
see what changed in each version without going online. The Debian
changelog only contains changes in the packaging.
Yes, I can release an upstream changelog next time. There are already
release notes for every release.
2. It would be nice to add some autopkgtests. For parlatype, that might
just be to run the binary command without a file to check that it
installs & doesn't crash. For the library & gir library you can compile
a simple app against the libraries to check they compile & run OK. If
you search on Debian Codesearch you will find examples.
I plan that for the next minor release (which might or might not be this
year).

Gabor
