Re: package sponsorship request
Hi everybody,
Sorry to be so excited. Here is the now-public hg repository:
hg clone http://hg.cilibrar.com/pkg-libsvm/
I welcome all changes that are technically or informationally
beneficial and are going to help this quickly get in Debian. I do not
want to switch packaging systems at this time because it makes more
sense to wait until the package switches completely with me as
upstream (maybe with a different name) and I re-enable the
autoconf/automake stuff that is currently not visible but on my
computer somewhere for later. Cheers, -r.
