  Description     : Google Optimization Tools

Google Optimization Tools (a.k.a., OR-Tools) is an open-source, fast and
portable software suite for solving combinatorial optimization problems.

The suite contains:

* A constraint programming solver;
* A linear programming solver;
* Wrappers around commercial and other open source solvers, including
  mixed integer solvers;
* Bin packing and knapsack algorithms;
* Algorithms for the Traveling Salesman Problem and Vehicle Routing
  Problem;
* Graph algorithms (shortest paths, min cost flow, max flow, linear sum
  assignment).

We wrote OR-Tools in C++, but also provide wrappers in Python, C# and Java.

I intent to maintain this package under the umbrella of the Debian
Science Team.
