Apropos hard to package Machine Learning stuff. I recently intended to package cython-blis[1] since it is needed by recent versions of python-thinc. It turns out that my packaging attemt[2] is not specifically hard from a technical point of view (at least the package builds and passes its test - it needs to be verified via benchmarking whether it is as performant as possible) there is some non-technical issue I would like you to read: https://github.com/explosion/cython-blis/issues/32 I have collected opinions of other Debian Developers who have touched that package before inside my ITP bug[1]. My intention is to open a new discussion with upstream and it would be really great if you would join me in this from a different perspective than "just another Debian developer". So my question is: Would you join me in this discussion to get "permission" to package cython-blis (which is strictly speaking not needed license wise but my per Debian policy I should not package anything if upstream does not want me to do so). Kind regards Andreas. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/984497 [2] https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/python-cython-blis -- http://fam-tille.de
