+glpk - GNU Linear Programming Kit
+
+The GLPK 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 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
+
+glpk is an optional dependency for the octave package.
