Re: Bug#936924: Moving libsvm to Debian Science team



Hi Christian, All,

I'm working on an update which removes dependency on cdbs and python2. I'm using liblinear package as the reference. I'll send you something for review some time this week.  

Thanks,
Chen-Tse

Hi all,

Regarding liblinear: I thought I already set the Maintainer to Debian
Science Team, I guess I missed it.

Yep, the Debian Policy was updated and recommends dh now.

@Andreas: Chen-Tse and I discussed upgrading the package in October (I
think), but both did not have the time back then.

I could also help with some work starting on the 27th or so. As
src:liblinear and src:libsvm have the same upstream, they are quite
similar WRT to building, so src:liblinear (which is up to date) might
have some helpful ideas.

Given that the last libsvm update was a while ago, I wouldn't be
surprised if a transition were necessary.
