[Nicholas D Steeves <nsteeves@gmail.com>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Hi Chris and dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "elpy"

Package name    : elpy
Version         : 1.25.0-1
URL             : https://elpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
License         : GPL-3+
Section         : devel

It builds this binary package:

  elpa-elpy  - Emacs Python Development Environment

  To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/elpy

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/elpy/elpy_1.25.0-1.dsc

Or clone the repository

  git clone https://salsa.debian.org/emacsen-team/elpy.git
  # gbp will work out of the box
  # alternative use git deborig to generate orig tarball from tag
  # or use uscan

Changes since the last upload:

elpy (1.25.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream version.
  * Upstream no longer distributes NEWS.rst
    - debian/rules: Drop build/NEWS generation.
    - Drop debian/local-var-snippet which was only used in NEWS.
    - debian/docs: do not install build/NEWS.
    - debian/elpa-test: Do not run test for elpy-news-should-insert-file,
      because it depends on NEWS.rst, which was dropped upstream.
  * Support 'nodoc' build profile
    - debian/control: Add <!nodoc> to python3-sphinx and texinfo build deps.
    - debian/rules: Only attempt to generate documentation when nodoc is
      not present in DEB_BUILD_PROFILES.
    - debian/rules: Workaround Bug #908078, because dh_sphinxdoc does not
      yet detect when "nodoc" is active and --with sphinxdoc will fail when
      python3-sphinx is not installed.
  * Add lintian-override for wrong-section-according-to-package-name, because
    section "devel" is most appropriate for an IDE for Python development
    when that IDE is implemented in Emacs Lisp.
  * debian/rules: Fix typo.
  * Enable support for Black, the uncompromising Python code formatter, now
    that it has been added to the Debian archive.
    - debian/control: Add black to Build-Depends and Suggests.
    - Drop debian/patches/0002-Disable-tests-for-black-code-formatter.patch.
  * Import upstream 0002-Handle-sphinx-warnings-linked-to-indexnode.patch
    This patch fixes numerous warnings of "4 column based index found" when
    building.
  * Fix sentence fragment in long description.
  * debian/elpa-test: Temporarily disable
    elpy-promise-wait-should-return-early-for-resolved and related tests
    in elpy-promise-wait-test.el.  This test passes 100% of the time with
    python3.6=3.6.6-1 and python3.7=3.7.1~rc1-1 and fails ~40% of the time
    with python3.6=3.6.7~rc1-1.  Issue has been forwarded upstream.  Tests
    involving Elpy "promises" will be reenabled after the Python 3.7
    transition. (Closes: #910311)
