  [9]Introduction to GLPK

   The GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) package is intended for solving large-scale
   linear programming (LP), mixed integer programming (MIP), and other related
   problems. It is a set of routines written in ANSI C and organized in the form of
   a callable library.

   GLPK supports the GNU MathProg modeling language, which is a subset of the AMPL
   language.

   The GLPK package includes the following main components:
     * primal and dual simplex methods
     * primal-dual interior-point method
     * branch-and-cut method
     * translator for GNU MathProg
     * application program interface (API)
     * stand-alone LP/MIP solver

  [10]Downloading GLPK

   The GLPK distribution tarball can be found on [11]http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/
   [via http] and [12]ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/ [via FTP]. It can also be found on
   one of [13]our FTP mirrors; please use a mirror if possible.

   To make sure that the GLPK distribution tarball you have downloaded is intact you
   need to download the corresponding .sig file and run a command like this:

   gpg --verify glpk-4.32.tar.gz.sig

   If that command fails because you do not have the required public key, run the
   following command to import it:

   gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 5981E818

   and then re-run the previous command.

  [14]Documentation

   The GLPK documentation consists of the Reference Manual and the description of
   the GNU MathProg modeling language. Both these documents are included in the
   distribution (in LaTeX, DVI, and PostScript formats).

  [15]Mailing Lists/Newsgroups

   GLPK has two mailing lists: [16]help-glpk@gnu.org and [17]bug-glpk@gnu.org.

   The main discussion list is [18]help-glpk@gnu.org, and is used to discuss all
   aspects of GLPK, including development and porting.

   There is a separate list used for reporting bugs, [19]bug-glpk@gnu.org. For
   details on submitting a bug report, please see the section [20]Report a Bug
   below.

   Announcements about GLPK and most other GNU Software are made on
   [21]info-gnu@gnu.org.

   To subscribe to these or any GNU mailing lists, please send an empty mail with a
   Subject: header line of just "subscribe" to the relevant -request list. For
   example, to subscribe yourself to the main GLPK discussion list, you would send
   mail to [22]help-glpk-request@gnu.org with no body and a Subject: header line of
   just "subscribe". Another way to subscribe is to use the mailing list interface;
   see [23]Help-glpk and [24]Bug-glpk.

   Currently there are no newsgroups dedicated to GLPK.

  [25]Request an Enhancement

   If you would like any new feature to be included in future versions of GLPK,
   please send a request to [26]help-glpk@gnu.org.

   Please remember that development of GLPK is a volunteer effort, and you can also
   contribute to its development. For information about contributing to the GNU
   Project, please read [27]How to help GNU.

  [28]Report a Bug

   If you think you have found a bug in GLPK, then please send as complete a report
   as possible to [29]bug-glpk@gnu.org.
