+suitesparse is a collection of libraries for computations involving sparse
+matrices. The package includes the following libraries:
+
+ AMD approximate minimum degree ordering
+ BTF permutation to block triangular form (beta)
+ CAMD constrained approximate minimum degree ordering
+ COLAMD column approximate minimum degree ordering
+ CCOLAMD constrained column approximate minimum degree ordering
+ CHOLMOD sparse Cholesky factorization
+ CXSparse CSparse extended: complex matrix, int and long int support
+ KLU sparse LU factorization, primarily for circuit simulation
+ LDL a simple LDL' factorization
+ SQPR a multithread, multifrontal, rank-revealing sparse QR
+ factorization method
+ UMFPACK sparse LU factorization
+ UFconfig configuration file for all the above packages.
+
+This requires blas and lapack.
+
+suitesparse is an optional dependency for the octave package.
+
+NOTES:
+
+* CHOLMOD can also be compiled to use the METIS library, but it is not
+ used here because its licensing terms exclude it from Octave.
+
+* CXSparse is a superset of CSparse, and the two share common header
+ names, so it does not make sense to build both. CXSparse is built
+ by default.
+
+* SlackBuilds.org also has all the parts of this suite as individual
+ builds DO NOT try and install the individual parts and the suite pick
+ one or the other.
