Package: libcudf-dev (0.7-5build3)

C library to access descriptions of package upgrade problems

libCUDF is a library to manipulate so called CUDF documents. A CUDF document describe an upgrade problem, as faced by package managers in popular package-based GNU/Linux distributions.

A CUDF document consists of a package universe and of a user request. The package universe describes all packages known to the package manager, a subset of which (the package status) denotes the package being currently installed on the target machine. The user request denotes a change to the package status as requested by the user.

A CUDF document is naturally complemented by a solution describing the resulting package status (if any) implementing the user request, as found by a package manager.

libCUDF enables manipulation of CUDF and related documents.

This package contains a C static library binding the OCaml implementation of libCUDF so that it can be used from the C programming language.
