Bug#724324: RFS: metar/0.2-1 ITP

[Tobias Frost <tobi@frost.de>]

Hallo Fernando,

please do not open  new bug when you upload a new (not-uploaded) version
to mentors, just reply to your old bug. (I merged both bugs)
There, you should describe what you changed since the last update.

Ok, lets take a look.

--> Package name metar is already taken. You'll need a differnt one.
http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/metar.html

--> Check your linitian warnings before uploading.
Because you created a native package, which is not what you want.
See the linitan messges (W) native-package-with-dash-version and 
(I) missing-debian-source-format 

--> (W) binary-without-manpage /usr/bin/metar does not have a manpage.
--> please fix (I) mdescription-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly

--> As you are upstream, please add upstream a changelog.

--> please add a dep5-style debian/copyright file. 

--> I'd suggest debian/compat 9 not 8 (and build-depend on debhelper >
9)

--> before uploading, you should update the timestamp in your changelog.
    (dch -r)

--> There's a warning: package metar: unused substitution variable
${perl:Depends} --- You need to depend in your binary package on
${perl:Depends} not just on perl, I think

Best regards,
coldtobi
