Bug#929740: RFS: elpy/1.28.0-2

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

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important
Control: block 928913 by -1

Dear mentors, (CCing lamby, who I have been working with on this package)

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "elpy".  I filed the unblock
request blocked by this bug.  This upload imports/backports fixes for
two upstream bugs.  The new user experience is greatly enhanced by
fixing those bugs, by fixing significant clarity issues in
README.Debian documentation, by importing the new upstream QuickStart
guide, and finally by adding documentation in the format that seems to
be expected/preferred by Python developers (html).

Package name    : elpy
Version         : 1.28.0-2
URL             : https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/elpy
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_1.28.0-2.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

elpy (1.28.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debian/rules: Disable DH_VERBOSE.
  * Use sphinx to generate documentation in html format, and use
    debian/docs to install it.
    (Closes: #928633)
  * Add libjs-sphinxdoc to Recommends.  This package's html doc search page
    fails gracefully with "Please activate JavaScript to enable the search
    functionality" if a user chooses not to install libjs-sphinxdoc.
  * debian/README.Debian: Make explicit how Debian's Elpy package does
    not ship with support for Python 2. (Closes: #927084)
  * debian/control: Clarify comment explaining why the Python 2 package
    python-autopep8 is a build dependency.
  * Add 0002-Add-a-quickstart-section-to-the-documentation-1598.patch
    (Closes: #927085)
  * Add 0004-Enable-elpy-mode-in-python-buffer-when-enabling-Elpy.patch,
    and its prerequisite 0003-Make-sure-we-cannot-load-Elpy-twice.patch.
    Also add 0005-Fix-typo.patch, which is a fixup for the 0003-* patch.
    See DEP-3 headers of patches for more information. (Closes: #926326)
