NOTE: opam-0install-cudf previously resided at together with opam-0install at ocaml-opam/opam-0install-solver but has now been split into its own repository at ocaml-opam/opam-0install-cudf. The git history for both are the same, up until d19d6fe7

Introduction

Opam's default solver is designed to maintain a set of packages over time, minimising disruption when installing new programs and finding a compromise solution across all packages.

In many situations (e.g. CI, local roots or duniverse builds) this is not necessary, and we can get a solution much faster by usin a different algorithm.

This package provides a generic solver library which uses 0install's solver library. The library uses the CUDF library in order to interface with opam as it is the format common used to talk to all the supported solvers.
