* Package name : 0install-solver Version : 2.18 Upstream Contact: Thomas Leonard * URL : https://github.com/0install/0install * License : LGPL-2.1 Programming Lang: OCaml Description : package dependency solver A package dependency resolver based on a SAT solver. This was originally written for the 0install package manager, but is now generic and is also used as a solver backend for opam. The SAT solver is based on MiniSat (http://minisat.se/Papers.html) and the application to package management is based on OPIUM (Optimal Package Install/Uninstall Manager). 0install-solver uses a (novel?) strategy to find the optimal solution extremely quickly (even for a SAT-based solver). This package is a new transitive dependency of opam. It will be maintained in the OCaml Team.
