Bug#511899: ITP: coinor-csdp -- A software package for semidefinite programming

2009-02-23 Thread whoami314

Quoting Soeren Sonnenburg so...@debian.org:

 Sure, but you should carefully check whether licenses (coinor uses CLP)
 are compatible and maybe askt on the coinor mailinglist if they can give
 an exception in case there is a problem...

 Soeren


Well, I'm clearly no license-expert, so feel free to prove me
wrong, but I don't think we have a license issue here: currently
coq and csdp form two separate and autonomous processes. Simply,
coq may submit a problem to csdp (by mean of a pipe or whatever)
and digest the output of csdp about this particular problem. In
addition, coq is clearly usable even without csdp being installed
on the system: in this case, the proof method that uses cdsp as
oracle will not be available, but coq provides many other proof
methods (they may be slower and/or more painful, but they work).

Best,

Pierre

Hi

This ITP is a nice idea. In my research group, we're now using csdp
as an external oracle when solving inequalities in the Coq proof assistant
(see [1], or more specifically [2] for the use of csdp in Coq). This
coinor-cdsp package could simplify things quite a bit for us, by becoming
a recommends or suggests or whatever for package coq. Anyway, if you need
early testers, or even help during the creation of this package, let me know...

Best regards,

2009-01-15 Thread Soeren Sonnenburg
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Soeren Sonnenburg so...@debian.org

* Package name: coinor-csdp
  Version : 6.0.1
  Upstream Author : Brian Borchers borch...@nmt.edu
* URL : https://projects.coin-or.org/Csdp
* License : CPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : A software package for semidefinite programming

 CSDP is a library of routines that implements a predictor corrector variant of
 the semidefinite programming algorithm of Helmberg, Rendl, Vanderbei, and
 Wolkowicz. The code runs in parallel on shared memory multi-processor systems,
 and it makes effective use of sparsity in the constraint matrices.
 .
 CSDP is part of the larger COIN-OR initiative (Computational Infrastructure
 for Operations Research).
 .
 This package contains the binaries and libraries.
