I just wanted to draw attention to the orphaned coin-or-* packages,
which implement a variety of optimization algorithms for things like
linear, nonlinear, and integer programming. I’m curious if anyone is
planning to pick them up or if they are truly at risk of retirement.
Several interesting packages depend on these, and it would be a shame to
lose the whole collection.
In principle, I might consider picking up at least some of these
packages, but they aren’t quite trivial, and I haven’t had time to look
at them closely. I don’t have a lot of spare cycles right now, and I
don’t like taking ownership of packages without doing a really detailed
review, cleaning up anything that’s outdated, and fully understanding
what I’m getting into.
The following packages that depend directly on at least one coin-or-*
package appear to be leaves:
freefem++, mp, openms, python-cyipopt
The following are not leaves:
opencv – the coin-or-Clp dependency appears to be removable with
some loss of functionality
python-pulp - needed for the whole Snakemake stack, requires
coin-or-Cbc
scip - needed for Macaulay2, mp, papilo, and polymake, the latter
two of which are not leaves
spasm - needed for Singular, which is not a leaf
