GLPK (Gnu Linear Programming Kit) is a library for solving linear
programming (LP) problems. This is used by the development (2.9.x) and
the upcoming 3.0 versions of octave. For more information about the
library, see:
http://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/glpk.html

One note about this package. The upstream sources do not provide for
building shared libraries. The maintainer has seemed somewhat
unresponsive to requests on the mailing list for this (and a lot of
other things), and I don't really have time or interest in maintaining
patches separate from the sources, so for now this is a static-only
library. I have put everything in glpk-devel, with the intention of
creating a glpk package in the future if shared libs are supported. This
library is not likely to be used by many applications, so for now I
don't see this as a problem.
