Dear all, we'd like to add CSDP, (a fast semidefinite programming solver, one of the very best around), as an optional package. https://projects.coin-or.org/Csdp/ It is a C library+headers, and I've written almost all what is needed (besides spkg-install etc) to have it seamlessly installable (using autotools) into Sage, here: https://github.com/dimpase/csdp
One major "customer" of CSDP in Sage is Flagmatic, see http://flagmatic.org/ We are also working on a Cython interface to CSDP, and hope to have it ready soon. CSDP itself has a GPL-incompatible license imposed by the employer of the developer of CSDP, so it itself cannot become standard. I understand that we need to vote on this. (Needless to say I'm committed to support CSDP as an optional package of Sage for the coming N years). Please vote on the following options: 1) Yes to CSDP becoming an optional package 2) no to 1), but yes to CSDP becoming an experimental package. 3) no, no, just go away.
