[Help-glpk] glpk and R

[family]

I have been working with glpk accessed from R.  Originally I was  
using the “glpk” R package in order to use the various API routines,  
but eventually realized that this port is of glpk version 4.8 from  
2006.  To support my own work, I have updated the port to hook up  
with version 4.43.

I have developed the interface routines to support roughly half of  
the glpk API, and expect that I can extend this to cover the full API  
without too much additional effort.  I would be happy to release the  
suite as a new R package.  My questions for this forum are;

:  Are you aware of anyone else doing this (no need for two updates;   
note that the developers of the prior R package apparently are not  
working on an update)?

:  Is there a sense that there is some customer demand for this product?
