[Python-apps-team] Bug#818107: doconce: please package the latest upstream version (and update the homepage)

[Francesco Poli (wintermute)]

Package: doconce
Version: 0.7.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello!
Thanks for maintaining this interesting package in Debian.

First of all, I noticed that the homepage field [1] seems to be outdated:
the URL leads me to an empty page [2], that displays a 404 error, after
enabling JavaScript (I won't comment on the seemingly never ending love
of Google for JavaScript...).

I think I found the current homepage [3] of DocOnce: this should
probably be set as the new homepage in the debian/control file.

Some web pages [4][5] are also of possible interest and could
be cited somewhere (maybe in a README.Debian file) as additional
documention to be consulted...

Secondly, and most importantly: the version currently packaged
for Debian seems to be fairly outdated. Please package the latest
upstream version available (from the current homepage as tar archive,
or directly from the head of the upstream git repository).

Thanks for your time!
Bye.
