Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 andre.dos.anjos@…]:
 > There is no "upstream" for this package. The owner does not maintain
 such a thing. I've e-mailed him with the same fix and I have verified it
 works on our local build server.

 Not to argue, but there do appear to be active upstream developers. There
 is a [http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/ homepage], with names of
 developers listed, and the latest version of libsvm was released four days
 ago.

 Point is, I'm not a C programmer and I don't know libsvm, so I can't
 evaluate the correctness of your proposed patch. I'm not saying we won't
 apply this patch, just that when we do apply patches we would prefer that
 they have been at least acknowledged by the developers, ideally accepted
 and committed to their source repository. If there is no public issue
 tracker or discussion about this issue to which you can provide a link,
 and no public source repository which we can peruse, then please let us
 know of the developers' email response.
