Sorry, thought I'd been clear in the initial email.

Where in the commit log, which I'll paste below, is the description of vowpal-wabbit?

I realise I'm probably missing something here, but you saw fit to import this package to pkgsrc. The least you can do is tell us all what it does. We don't all have the ability to look at DESCR files straight away, and my telepathy plugin seems to be broken right now, so it would be really great if you could humour us all, and share the benefits of your wide experience, and just tell us WTF this thing does.

Thanks,

Alistair

Thanks for importing the package.

 

In future, and starting immediately, please include the DESCR file for the package in the commit message so others can understand what the package is all about - we're not all blessed with your insights as to what it does, and how it is useful.
