Name        : glpk
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 4.52.1
Release     : 2.fc20
URL         : http://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/glpk.html
Summary     : GNU Linear Programming Kit
Description :
The GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) package is intended for solving
large-scale linear programming (LP), mixed integer programming (MIP),
and other related problems. It is a set of routines written in ANSI C
and organized in the form of a callable library.

GLPK supports the GNU MathProg language, which is a subset of the AMPL
language.

The GLPK package includes the following main components:

 * Revised simplex method.
 * Primal-dual interior point method.
 * Branch-and-bound method.
 * Translator for GNU MathProg.
 * Application program interface (API).
 * Stand-alone LP/MIP solver.

Update Information:

Adds a temporary patch to enable functionality that disappeared in F-20. Since not all distributions of GLPK 4.52.1 have this function, you must define a special Fedora macro in order to use it. This is a backport from upstream and will be included in the next release, when the patch can be dropped. This is intended to unblock various packages that use glpk, such as latte-integrale and cvc4.
