Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi,
I am no longer interested in maintaining dimbl. Upstream (Maarten van Gompel) feels shipping dimbl with Debian is of very limited use: people interested in dimbl likely are better served always using the very latest version of it. I'll request for removal of dimbl from unstable and testing, soonish. Unless someone else steps up RSN, that is. Be aware there is serious/RC/FTBFS Bug #833905 open (which is relatively easy to fix).) (From the description: The Dimbl Distributed Memory Based Learner is a wrapper around the k-nearest neighbor classifier in TiMBL, offering parallel classification on multi-CPU machines. Dimbl splits the original training set, builds separate TiMBL classifiers per training subset, and merges their nearest-neighbor sets per classified instance. If you do scientific research in Natural Language Processing using the Memory-Based Learning technique, Dimbl will likely be of use to you.) Bye, Joost
