  Description     : exact linear and integer programming solver

QSopt-ex is an implementation of a simplex-based algorithm that returns exact
rational solutions, taking advantage of the speed of floating-point
calculations and attempting to minimize the operations performed in
rational arithmetic.

A fork of the original project is maintained at <https://github.com/jonls/qsopt-ex>, which is what will be targeted for the Debian packaging.
This program can be used as a backend solver for python-cobra, a systems biology
modeling toolkit. The package will be maintained by the Debian Med team.
