Hi Chen-Tse, I'm maintaining a package that depends from libsvm. Due to bug #936924 that did not received any response since August it is in danger to be removed from testing so I'm interested that this bug will be fixed. When looking at the package I realised that while it would fit into Debian Science team scope it is not team maintained nor is there any repository in Salsa. That's why I have the following suggestion:
1. I create a repository on Salsa 2. Move the package to Debian Science team maintenance and add you as Uploader 3. Drop Python2 package and close bug #936924 4. May be migrate packaging from cdbs to dh If I do not hear from you until Monday I assume you agree with this plan and will do so. Kind regards Andreas. PS: @Christian: I noticed that you and Chen-Tse are maintaining liblinear. I have just removed Python2 package and reassigned #936889 to ftp.debian.org to make sure python-liblinear will be removed. Thus libsvm can be dealt as suggested. -- http://fam-tille.de
