Bug#727237: ITA: coinor-cbc -- Coin-or branch-and-cut

[Miles Lubin <miles.lubin@gmail.com>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

In consultation with the current maintainer, Etienne Millon, who will
acknowledge here, I intend to adopt this package.


The package description is:
 Cbc (Coin-or branch and cut) is an open-source mixed integer programming
 solver written in C++.  It is primarily meant to be used as a callable
 library, but a basic, stand-alone executable version is also available.
 .
 Mixed integer programming (MIP) is a generalization of linear programming (LP)
 and allows to find the minimum solution of objective functions depending
 linearly on variables, which are linearly constrained and additionally may
 have integrality constraints.
 .
 Cbc is part of the larger COIN-OR initiative (Computational Infrastructure for
 Operations Research) and depends on the COIN-OR Clp linear programming solver
 for solving subproblems.
 .
 Cbc works well as independent solver (reading files in the MPS format) and as a
 solver backend for AMPL.
 .
 This package contains the binaries and libraries.
