[DRE-maint] Bug#560541: Bug#560541: pkgconfig file in libsvm-dev? [was: Bug#560541: libsvm-ruby: FTBFS]

[Rudi Cilibrasi]

I am planning on abandoning libsvm-ruby like I orphaned the libsvm
package.  In my opinion there is little chance for the upstream
packaging to be improved in LIBSVM as I have been trying to convince
upstream to do certain improvements for years and they resisted.  Now
I am reducing my investment in LIBSVM related technology to 0.  Best
regards,

Rudi
