Found no activity for maintainer in the BTS. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;correspondent=ctse.t...@gmail.com 2. Found no VCS in the packaging files, so Found nowhere to look for clue for maintainer activity. 3. A NMU-PING was sent to the maintainer 40 days ago, and I have got no ack yet. Let me forward this mail privately to you. 4. In the d/changelog, the recorded maintainer is not active on this package for many years. FYI: his last upload time is Mon, 11 Jun 2012 In summary, I deduce that the recorded maintainer is curretly not active. > > * d/control: > > + Bump standards version to 3.9.6. > > + Remove obsolete DM-Upload-Allowed field. > > + Add Vcs-Browser field. > > + Remove duplicated Homepage description.

The updated package was uploaded to mentors, http://mentors.debian.net/package/libsvm Thanks ;-) > cheers, > > G.
