RFS: rubiks -- a collection of Rubik's cube solvers

[Julien Puydt <julien.puydt@laposte.net>]

Hi,

I sent an ITP a few days ago ; now it's ready, in :
ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/rubiks

* Package name     : rubiks
  Version          : 20070912
  Upstream author  : various
* URL              : http://www.sagemath.org/packages/standard/
* License          : GPL, Expat, GPL-2+
  Programming Lang : C, C++
  Description      : A collection of Rubik's cube solvers

Michael Reid's "optimal" uses pre-computed tables to find an optimal 
solution to the 3x3x3 Rubik's cube.

Dik T.Winter's "dikcube" uses Kociemba's algorithm to iteratively find a 
short solution to the 3x3x3 cube.

Eric Dietz' "cubex" has fast non-optimal solver for the 3x3x3 cube.

Those are used in sagemath, so I plan to take care of them within the 
debian-science packages.
